I have not posted in along time, but still lurk quite frequently. I have just saved these guys from a guy who had them with frogs . I showed him that the toes were getting eaten from the frogs and a few other sores from being attacked . He had no problem with me taking them as he liked the fire bellied frogs better anyways. This is them in their temporary home.

I was told that they are Crocodile newts, and I am pretty certain they are T. verrucosus just from what I have read on the care sheet and species, but would still like some other input from you experts. the picture on the right is the newt that had been getting attacked - the other has no signs of damage what so ever. They both are eating very well from tweezers and seem pretty active now that they have a tank without another species in it.

Your post was not appropriate for the advanced section of the forum. Also your subject was not descriptive of the contents. Please choose your forum area more carefully in future and please be more descriptive in the thread title/subject.
 
It's not Tylototriton. It's Paramesotriton, a warty newt. I'd guess Paramesotriton hongkongensis but I'm no expert.
 
Yes, definately Paramesotriton hongkongensis.

Sorry for the mix up John and Thanks for setting me straight on the species. I will do my best to provide them with a habitat that will house them for as long as they and I will live .

    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?
