No there is a sale on both days as well as an auction on Sunday.
I think the IAD site has been updated, you should check there.

I was planning on going however I may have to work on that Saturday, which is too bad because I was looking forward to the lectures. I may go to the Carolina show in Raleigh that Sunday instead though.

Ed, would it be possible for you to post some of that amphibian nutrition info here? Or even email it to me? It's something I've only just started to really look into, and I'd love to read what you have to say!

I'll definately have axolotls. I'll probably have 5 types. I might have juvenile fire salamanders and Triturus. Other than that salmon pellets, dart frogs, etc. Some other people might put a few salamanders at my table. Their are usually some nice salamanders for sale at the show but it is mostly dart frogs.

what types of salamanders do they have for sale usually and in the auction will they be auctioning off amphibians.

There are occasionally amphibians in the auction. It depends on what they get for donations.
The only salamanders that can be sold there are cb ones.

Also for those who are interested,
unless there is a cancellation, Dr. Max Nickerson (author of The Hellbenders) will be there to speak on hellbender conservation and ecology as part of the Saturday night talks.

Ed,
I do not want to start a flood of requests but if you decide to make this available I would be interested in a copy as well (I'll pay for any material and time costs).

Hmm, maybe it could be put into the caudata magazine. What do you think Ed?

It technically is in press but production costs are holding the entire thing up. If it doesn't fly then I would seriously consider offering some or all of it for the caudata magazine.

    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?
