After months of frustration, I am hoping some of you may be able to help me out. I am attempting to put together my own field guide of reptiles and amphibians in the state of Nebraska. This state is not known for its biodiversity. In fact I have been able to find documentation that there is only 60 species recorded in the state. The problem is the caudates. There is tons of information on the frogs, the turtles, the snakes, and even the lizards, but nothing on the salamanders.

I have valid confirmation of the presence of
A. tigrinum
A. texanum (very very rare now)
A. t. mavortum
Eurycea longicauda (very very rare, may be gone from this state now)

Anyone know of any more or perhaps direct me to a resource that has them?

I know this whole project sounds a little silly, but it is for my own personal use when I am out and about. I have a lame memory for such things.

The first 3 you listed are the only ones I have recently heard of being there. None the less Mike Graziano (mike_g) would probably be the gentleman to get in touch with, he currently resides in your state now I believe.

    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?
