this one pays too small a monthly stipend for me to relocate for but it may work for someone who lives in that region...

I am totally the man for the job. All I have to do is step into bankhead, and venemous snakes come to me.

Wow. I would move there in a SECOND if i could. I love being outside, have no apprehensions to ticks, comfortably handle snakes, WANT to handle venomous ones, have a very extensive knowledge of reptiles and amphibians of ANY region. $600 bucks a month may not seem like much, but when you consider that they're giving you a place to live (sort of)...

If ever there were a job for me.

    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?
