>Dragonnewts are not an expanding race since they don't breed.

The Dragonewts themselves reproduce. Sandy one time (Codex #3) said they had five sexes but breeding was pretty slow because there was only one member of the fifth caste in all of Dragon Pass.

The Ralian 'newts have no inhuman king so it is difficult to see how they might reproduce. I assume it's related to their former human ancestry (they were originally reptile hsunchen) and so captive humans might be necessary for successful reproduction (even if only as an unwilling host).
