Hi,

Saturday I have bought 4 P. Glutinosus, however when I arrived at home with my 4 beautiful animals..I found a surprise!
Three of them were certainly P.glutinosus (with the grey-white spots, see picture), but one of them (the largest one) was different with an homogeneous colour and without the typical white-grey spots present in P.glutinosus.
Is it an intruder?....It is Ensatina or which species?? Now they are all together but I notice that the largest one (the ""hypotetical intruder"") eats much more than the others. Do you think that I have to separate it from the other?
Thank you...

Hard to tell from the picture, but it doesn't look like a Ensatina to me. Maybe a A. ferrues? Or maybe a A. flavipunctatus? I am not sure, i am no good with lungless salamanders......

EDIT: Or maybe its just spotless?

    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?
