Hello all,

I am a 7th grade life science teacher in Gainesville Florida. We have had axolotls of many morphs and bred them for many years. We are looking for experts and such to help with a 4 month science study of the axolotl including multiple disciplines of science combined through this one study. If you would like to become a resource or expert, please email me and let me know. I will update you in a few months to let you know about the comprehensive web page created by our students. I hope some of you from the outside world come and join us for this study of the ecology, evolutionary history, and conservation of this great creature.

Sincerely,
Randy

I live in Gainesville and I have a degree in evolutionary biology (and work at the science outreach center here at UF). I'd be happy to contribute in any way that I can. Just send me a private message here on the forums and I'll give you my work e-mail.

Sounds like an ambitious project ;)

    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?
