If I were thirty years younger, I'd apply for this myself:

Oglebay's Good Zoo is currently inviting applications for 2 eastern hellbender field research internship positions for the summer of 2005. Researchers will assist in monitoring and collecting data on eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) in local streams in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. Researchers will be required to spend a minimum of 320 hours assisting with a variety of duties including data collection in the field, data analysis, report preparation, and public education. College juniors, seniors, or graduate students majoring in Biology, Ecology, Wildlife and Fisheries Management, or Zoology are encouraged to apply. Experience with radio telemetry, PIT tags, and GPS is preferred but not necessary. This is an unpaid internship. However, free summer housing and utilities excluding phone will be available to the chosen applicants. For more information on how to apply, please contact Joe Greathouse, Curator of Animals, at (304) 243-4029 or by e-mail at jgreathouse@oglebay-resort.com.

    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?
