Hi all! I had gotten 10 eggs, in hopes that one or two would make it. Well 7 did, and someone in another state wants to buy 4. I'm a little unsure of the best way to ship them, and what are the best temperatures to ship them during? How I got the eggs was in a ziplock bag in a box, which was then packed with newspapers around the bag to secure it in place. Would this work for them? I thought they would have to be overnighted but the lady is thinking that the 2-3 day shipping option is ok. I just want to make sure I do this right and give them the best chance of making it through the shipping process. They are about 3-4 inches. Thank you all!
 
Could you do some forum searches for shipping axolotls? I'm sorry to sound like a grouch, but it's been discussed many times. Also here's an article

Best of luck with your shipping.

    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?
