I thought I would share a few pictures caught before, during, and after my boy was yawning. His mouth can get quite wide. Sorry they are not oriented right. I tried rotating the pictures every way, and they still turned out this direction.

In the pictures with his mouth open you can see a black ring in his mouth. Is this a feature that helps hold on to food? I know it isn't teeth.

    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?
