See subject. Also, know anyone who sells different sizes?
 
This isn't exactly what you asked for, but... a good alternative to small waxworms are fly larvae (maggots), which I order occasionally from grubco.com. Given the current hot weather,:evil: that may not be an option until next fall, though.

I used to order jars of waxworm culture - basically, a jar containing medium + waxworm eggs that would hatch and rapidly grow into waxworms of various sizes. I can't remember the name of the person I used to order from, but I can hunt it up if you are interested.
 
both the petco and the petsmart in my area carry waxworms frequently (in the live amd frozen food refrigerators in the freshwater fish section), so if u live near any of those stores u should be able to find them. they run out quite frequently however (especially of the earthworms and nightcrawlers), so if u dont see any, just ask when the next shipment is due to come in. it's usually better to buy them when they're fresh anyway

    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?
