I am thinking of getting some fire salamanders, I have all the preperations, like a well sized viv of 60cmX45cmX60cm .I was just wondering if I should get them in a couple or would one just be ok?


I may be getting them from 888reptiles and I was wondering if they have good prices . If anyone has got thier stock from them before?

:)

2 is only necessary if you want to breed them. If you do want 2, you have to get them when they're the same size, and try your best not to get a weak one and big one. I had 2-the big, strong one never let the other eat anything and the weak one eventually died, and I'm now afraid that the bigger one might be getting obese!

    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?
