lower the temperature in the tank for two or three months, and then bring it back up... but if they've already seen amplexus and mating behavior, i dont think you need to worry about that.
and there are 3 different species of newts commonly sold as "california newts". all require different degrees of terrestrial/aquatic set up... look into which species you have. once you're sure they're in the correct set up, breeding should come naturally.
