Tylotriton Yangi Breeding Questions

[shnabo]

Hi all,

I recently acquired some tylotriton yangi and had some questions. The previous owner didn't cool them, but have heard of some people succeeding in breeding them without a specific cooling period (just going through seasonal changes in the house temperature/air pressure changes). They have not bred for him however he hasn't done anything like simulating rain, increasing the temperature etc. If I were to do so, would it stimulate breeding? All 3 go in and out of the water regularly and 2 seem to have volcano shaped cloacas, but aren't showing bright breeding colours. Also, when cooling in the winter, what is a suitable range in terms of temperature? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi there's a few yangi threads on here , this is the best newt website in the world . Unfortunately everyone uses Facebook these days

Awesome that is pretty detailed thanks, I must have missed it under the previous classification. The only thing I didn't see in there is a temperature range, do you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know a rough range for an effective cool? I've heard mixed things based on other tylos.

Facebook is more satisfying for some, but it lacks any means to search through topics sytematically.. well it has no topics... facebook is more like a mindless quicky, whichs doens't create any lasting memories.
