Hello!I'm new here!I've doing a research for salamanders/newts recently and this site has been very helpful to me.But I have a problem: A friend of mine gave me a salamander as a present, but no one knows-not even the pet shop owner-what species it belongs in. I would be grateful if someone could find that out by these photos!They aren't so good, I know...Thanks anyway!
Description: It's colour is brownish with black spots all over the body and an orange line on both sides and under the tail.It also has a big flat head.It doesn't go out (on land) and it takes breaths of air every 5-10 minutes.

    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?
