Hi all,

My name is Jeff Mette. I'm a curator of live reptile and amphibian exhibits at the state natural history museum here in North Carolina. We exhibit a number of native caudates (currently more than 15 species from five families) as well as other native and exotic herpetofauna. I am involved in all aspects of their husbandry and exhibition.

I'm especially interested in the captive care and reproduction of amphibians, and have browsed this forum quite a bit in the past. I have about 12 years of experience with amphibian husbandry and am interested in all taxa, but would like to refine my skills with plethodontids in particular.

Thanks for reading.
 
Welcome! We have a few other zookeepers on the site, at least one of which has successfully bred some wonderful species. Welcome!!

    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?
