I've just heard about this book:

The Colour Pictorial Handbook of Amphibians in Sichuan

http://www.hceis.com/product/index/amphipia/amphipia%20in%20Sichuan.htm

Anybody here have it?

I hear it has really good photos and illustrations, and covers 10 kinds of salamanders (not incl. newts) and 2 kinds of newts.

Hi Francesco, yeah but with pics of egg masses and habitats even, it'd still be a nice addition to the collection. I could always get somebody to translate parts for me (and others

). Looks like a really serious effort. Still, it's probably mostly devoted to frogs...

That's what happens in most of the books on amphibians: 80% on anurans and 20% on caudates

I know that there are much more species of frogs than salamanders...

Yes, Francesco, there's a definite bias in favor of frogs

Sorry, I don't know of any books on Asian sals in English, except for one that deals solely with Onychodactylus:

The Clawed Salamanders of Asia: Genus Onychodactylus
Biology, Distribution and Conservation
S L Kuzmin

Coen, have you seen The Newts and Salamanders of Europe (Richard A. Griffiths) yet? It's very good.

    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?
