My name is Trey and I currently breed Eastern Red Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens). I used to breed alot of different species of Newts but ended up taking a job where I was not able to keep up the Hobby. I sold all my inventory Except my Red Spots. I am now settled and would like to get back in the Hobby. I now recognize with all the new laws that this is going to be difficult. I am very interested in starting back with some Alpine Newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris). If anyone could give me some suggestions on how to get a hold of some breeders legally it would be highly appreciated. I live in Tennessee so if anyone has any here that would probably be the easiest. I can Trade Red Spots or pay. Either way I would make it worth your while. I love pics of newts and tanks so feel free to send me any and Ill send mine back! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of a cool organization with fellow amphibian lovers!!!!!!
 
Well, egg laying season is upon us and maybe you'll find some eggs for sale soon.
 
Welcome to the Forum! Good luck finding some newts you want!

    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?
