I was thinking of watching the migration of California newts. Anyone have any tips on when to go? Or where in the park the greatest numbers can be seen? Thanks for your help.

They should be all around that park in or near wetlands.As they do have signs posted,caution:newt crossing.Another good place to see them is **edited** although ive never seen any there when I visited that park.Its weird that ive only found 1 terrestrial taricha torosa all the trips ive went looking for them and luckily spotted 6 T.rivularis in a few trips with the help of a friend.Ive never been to tilden but heard or read that its filled with newts.

Funny, I'm so close, yet I've never gone to check them out in **edited**. I caught a newt migration in late Febuary, or early March two years ago, but it was in the north bay. I'd suspect that's the time to go, as to precisely where to go in **edited**, I don't know off hand.

Ok, I dug out the pics. We weren't there for the newts, so I don't have too many pictures of them.

    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?
