Well this has to be the suckiest week possible :(

I was taking piccies of my lovely newts Garfield & Odie earlier today as Garfield was swimming around and shedding at the same time.

Went to tuck all my animals in (so to say) before I went to bed and found Garfield upside down :eek: his skin got stuck around his front legs so they were pressed to his side so therefore presume he could not swim and drowned (can this and does this happen).

I am devastated and in tears, I have so enjoyed my little guys and my kids adore them. If any of you guys know of any juvie newts that are black with lots of orange I desperately need one before my son finds out :cry:

As much as I love having pets the heartache that goes with it sometimes is just awful.

RIP my lovely little Cynops Pyrrhogaster Garfield

    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?
