Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

btw these are two different salamanders and I know the pics aren't great

I have found salamanders like this before, they look to big to be blue spotted salamanders ( we have those around here )

my guess was silvery salamander the hybrid of jefferson and blue spot , yet when I check their range the species doesn't come into cook county

any guess?

    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?
