It rained alot today so we went out and scoured the back trails with flashlights. Spotted a total of 38 Salamanders out and about. Mostly redbacks but a few ravines, 2 two-lined and 2 eastern newts. One baby red eft and one adult green one. However, right as we were heading back, we found this fellow sitting under a log near a seep in the woods. Been pouring over the books and can't figure out what he is.

Found in South-Eastern Ohio. If it makes any difference, we're fairly high up in the mountains and the deep is just down stream from a spring fed pond (which feeds the seep).



Also saw a fowlers toad and some chorous frogs.

    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?
