The woods out here are filled with sals and newts. Am I alone out here?

Didn't know where else to post! Hopefully this is the right place ;)
 
I'm at the Mass/RI border, I have to go on short drives for them but they're here! I'd love to go out that way some time.
 
I'm in RI a friend of mine lives in Green near the mass border and there are plenty of newts salamanders and box turtles out that way. Here in Warwick where I am I find the occasional marbled and spotted salamanders, plus plenty of others. My brother keeps 4 water dogs in his koi pond for about 5 years now, but I have never found juveniles or larvae, they probably get eaten quickly.
 
Nice didn't realize you were local slime, I work in Cumberland :p

We'll have to plan a herping trip this fall perhaps?
 
It would be fun it's been a while since I went herping in New England. I just moved back to RI after being in Cali for 10 years and Northern AZ for 3. I used to know some good spots to go but it's been a while. East Greenwich used to have some good places to go not only for salamanders but also some very large grey tree frogs and some of the less common snakes in the state.

    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?
