Where can you buy mantellas? Are there any captive bred OR are they all wild caught??

Any info would be greatly appreciated. :wacko:
 
Mantellas are tough to find. They used to be really common in the hobby when they were being imported, but fortunately that practice has nearly ceased. I'm not really sure about the rules for posting dealers and such, so I won't post any specifics. The forum dendroboard.com has information on mantellas and there are a couple dealers that advertise there that sell captive bred mantellas.

Ha, you and me both. There's one offering of M. pulchra on Kingsnake, from what I've read most are wild caught. Reptiles Magazine just published a really good and in depth article on this mantellas.

    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?
