I want to get a semi-terrestrial or if I need to an aquatic. I also want the salamander/newt to look like a lizard like w/o the gills and stuff like that. I have a 10 gallon tank. I need some help on what salamander/newt to get and if I can find a breeder/distributor in the Oakland County, Michigan area, because I don't want to go to the pet store for one.(I've heard bad things) Anything would help...thanks
 
Phil, it's unlikely that you will find a breeder in your area. Possible, but unlikely. There are too few of them. It would help if you could narrow down the kinds of newts you'd be interested in.

Most likely, you will either have to (1) get them from a pet store, or (2) get them as juveniles and raise them up. Keep an eye on the for-sale ads on this site, and see what kinds of things are (sometimes) available.

    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?
