I've just been to a site called cryptozoology.com and in the gallery on page two is a picture of a salamander that made me nearly fall off my chair! they're calling it a Hammerhead salamander and it resembles something that became extinct three hundred million years ago! It has to be a fake but its still worth a look!
 
A picture of this came up in an earlier thread. The picture was deemed fake and it started a conversation about the diplocaulus. The animal that it was based on.
 
Hi Ben, guessed it must of been a fake but it got my imagination going a bit!
 
When I first saw the photo on the other thread I thought I had come across a living fossil. It raises a lot of what ifs/
 
I've been trying to find the other thread you mentioned, where is it Ben? I'm curious as to what you all said about it.

It's called "What Newt/Salamander is This" It could be in the most recent archives in either here or in newt help, or maybe it's not in the archives yet.
 
Thanks for that Shaun!

    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?
