Hi there... It's been awhile since I've posted , so I thought I'd show off my little guys. The first pic is when I was cleaning their tank just now and the second is going back into their tank. Yes, they're still all together, but there's no problems and sometimes they share "housing", 2-3 to a coconut shell, tunnel or bark. We're going to Rexpo in Rochester in April, so we're going to see if anyone there would like a couple of them.

I'd love to know if anyone has any idea why some are larger and duller, while others are smaller and brighter? I'm wondering if it's a gender thing, esp the size. The dullness I'm guessing could be chalked up to getting ready to shed.

Right now they're eating medium sized reptiworms (calciworms, soldier fly larvae),although we just had a bunch of the larvae change and it turns out the actual fly's go over pretty well too. They have the occasional wax worm when the reptiworms run out.

Anyway... Thanks for looking, reading, offering advice. ? uploadfromtaptalk1427047354194.jpg

    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?
