Good friends of ours recently moved to northern California, Chico to be more specific. My wife and I plan on visiting them in the near future and I would like to know what month would prove most successful "salamandering".

Right now during the rainy season would be best, and it usually stays pretty productive up through May.

Thanks, Russ. Interesting how the climate can fluctuate across this great country. Today in Mpls. we are approaching negative temperatures. Our friends tell us that temperature in the Chico valley can reach over 100 F in the summer.

Make sure you don't look around Chico, there's not much of anything in the valley. You want to head west to the coast range, especially the west slope of them.

Thanks for the tip, we were planning on camping somewhere in Mondecino Co.

    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?
