Hey i breed this kind and when they are old enough i let them go and im starting this thread so i get to know other redbacked breeders
 
I'm pretty sure that's illegal but I could be wrong?Maybe its re-releasing WC animals?But it's not really great to do because you could introduce diseases to native populations.
 
i didnt let any go yet i just got my first batch of eggs and one hatched so far so what do i do with them after they hatch should i sell them i thought it would help increase their population in the wild but i guess i was wrong thanksfor telling me that before i let them go.
 
I've also read of the dangers of exposing non-native diseases to native populations when releasing animals back into the wild. Too bad, as I was keen on releasing most of my H.tokyoensis larvae to the same location where their egg sac was found once they morph. There are a couple articles on this topic at:

    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?
