Road closed so that salamanders can mate

Experts expect the closing of a local road will save many lives! But it is not your typical road closing.

A small stretch of a local road is used during salamanders mating. This closing will allow them to move across the road for mating. In fact, this should increase greatly the salamander population.

While most of the Wesselman Park salamander mating is during February and March, it also occurs later in the season. At this point it's unclear whether the commissioners will close the road again during this fall season."

That's great to see people caring enough to close roads for newts.

I found this sign at a park near my home. Not as good as closing the road, but it's a nice thought.

    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?
