Here is an invitation to the East Texas Herpetological Society November meeting. The topic is an in depth discussion on the Texas Blind Cave Salamander and other herps in the Edwards Aquifer, a large network of underground water filled caverns. It will be held November 10, 7:30 PM at the Hermann Park Zoo.
It will be very interesting, and refreshments will be provided. Attendance is free.
Here is a link describing this:

I have been a member for several years. When I was a kid/teen, I was a member of the predecessor org. Are you a member also?

No. I had no idea this organization even existed. I had heard of something similar when I lived in Austin but I moved down here before I joined.

I think you may like it. There is a nice group of enthusiasts and hobbyists and professionals. ETHS puts on a public show every September, with CB herps from all over the country, as well as supplies, plus speakers.
The meetings are pretty well attended, and there is a spring field trip/camping trip annually.
We want more people involved from the amphibian side of the herp universe.

    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?
