Which one of these two toxins are worse, the toxins produced by the west coast newts, or the toxins produced by the Phyllobates genus of dart frog? Just wondering, not related to my new pair of Tarichas, just curious
 
I'm not sure about the general rule.. But I do know that some populations of T. granulosa faced with TTX resistant garter snakes can have incredibly high amounts of TTX to account for the resistance in the snakes. I would say that these/this population(s) are definitely more potent than most BTX found in Phyllobates. But in general, I'm not sure.

    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?
