Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Meg and I am new to this forum as well as newts, salamanders and frogs. I keep many types of geckos, a skink, a snake, a couple rabbits and a cat currently.
However I am taking in a pair of tiger salamanders this week thru a local reptile rescue. I was directed to this site with all the knowledgable people here to find out more information. I have been doing as much research as possible before they arrive.

Thank you Jan. I had read the one article a couple months ago when a trio of tiger salamanders I came across were up for adoption (someone adopted them before I arrived). But the 101 article is new reading for me to do. Thanks!

    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?
