Here are a couple uncommon anurans, photographed behind the scenes at the Ft. Worth Zoo. Both are federally protected species.

Hey Nate,
Did you guys try breeding the Crested Toads this last month? One of our pairs laid eggs but they had not been fertilized, just was curious if you guys had better success.

Hi Kyle, we had 3 successful pairings and sent a couple thousand tadpoles to Puerto Rico.

    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?
