Hey guys I'm new the newt and salamander community and my first question is any recommendations on the best way to keep salamander larvae healthy and happy when transporting in a car.
 
Welcome to the forum! I would say use plenty of cushioning so they don't get bounced around too much. And if you're going a long distance, use air-permeable bags so they can get air.

Yep, I now use 'breathing bags' for sending larvae. They're made of a compound that allows CO2 and O2 to exchange. Also, it might be worthwhile putting them in a cooler box to ensure they don't get too hot.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
