hmmmmm
yo carpy, why cant we have salamanders?
dont worry, im not gonna do it, but could they survive here? i know axolotls can, european tree frogs did survive in the 80's here for a bit, alpine newts have survived here, why not alpine salamanders? or any other amphibians really..

some species of salamanders are able to survive in britain, though of course it can causa havoc to native species if they are introduced. i am currently working on an outdoor enclosure for my salamandra salamandra fastuosa, and they will be kept there all year round.
in theory, some species should be fine and survive in england, and i presome the only reason they have not become establsihed is because of that irrelevant stretch of water that seperatuse us from the mainland

oh, and juraj, please let us know if you go herping again, they were wonderful pics!

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
