here in portugal is very difficult to grab a caudata amphibian.
i've seen a salamander in a shop but it isn't identified. it's black with white spots and the man tell me that it's an african salamander.
somebody can help me to identify the specie??
 
Good joke! There are (almost) no African salamanders. Are you sure it is a salamander, not a lizard? Does it look like any of these:

You can look at more species photographs here:

    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?
