Does anyone have any tips on sexing p hongkonensis, or an links to anywhere that can help?
In practical terms, this depends on what you have available. In other words, how cool can you get it given the rooms of the house you have to work with. I cycle my newts on a timetable that simply follows nature. Right now things are getting cooler, so my tanks are getting cooler. I would say if you have a cool place, start now. And simply keep them cold until spring.What temp should I get the tank down too, and how long should I maintain this temp for?
When should I commence this cooling period?
This is a dangerous idea, Sam. Any time you think a newt "couldn't possibly" escape, they'll eventually prove you wrong. I know of a case where a large adult Pleurodeles, for example, had never been seen out of the water for years, but still managed to climb out one night. Don't take ANY chances in this.Mine never even attempt escape anyway, they stay in the water.
