Okay so I just read Maryland's regulations about herps that I can't keep and so far I'm disappointed. These are the species that I want, but can't keep: Eastern Tiger Salamander, Jefferson Salamander, Mudpuppy, Leatherback Seaturtle JK;), Timber Rattlesnake, and Copperhead. I don't want any venomous snakes soon, but when become a famous herpetologist:D, I might want to keep them.
 
I wholeheartedly support states regulating the keeping of T&E species by hobbyists. If an animal is rare in the state, collecting it (or releasing other specimens) can severely harm populations.
 
I do too. I have an eastern box turtle and I definitally support their laws about that, but I still wish we were allowed to keep them w/o harming populations in the wild. At least they didn't say anything about Ambystoma mavortium mavortium.

    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?
