Nice.

Those are some interesting animals you have there(I cant decide if there cool or just a bit... freaky).
You female looks rather... how to put this tactfully? Porky!

The first photo really reminds me off an ex, she had that exact same expression when I was about to get told off for something!

Those ribbed newts are drop dead gorgeous Jay! Congrats on gettting them to mate! Have they laid any eggs since you saw amplexus?

Please keep us posted.

Skillet told me about these, he described them as "leucistic, fully aquatic salamnders". He didn't know exactly what they were but the first thing I thought of was just an axolotl. But then he says "no they don't have any gills and they get big!".

It wasn't until later that he told me that they are spanish ribbed newts, then I was really impressed. They look awsome. It's nice to finally see what they look like.

    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?
