Hi Raphael,
The animal on the picture is a juvenile Spanish ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl). On their website they are prized at 15 Dollars each. Their scientific name is supposed to be Paramesotriton chinensis, which in fact is a different species.

I seen that too, first they are $15.00 then next you see $300.00 AND THEN they post *BAD* pics so some stupid person will buy it.

maybe if he had 2 pairs of Neurergus strauchii and they were gravid and ready to mate, someone would buy them. At least they could lie a little right? If they're going to rip you off.

    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?
