See the other thread. Disease is irrelevant. The ban in general is in place. The court ruled, however, that USFWS cannot ban interstate movement of injurious species [giant snakes, salamanders, or whatever else], because the law they twist to say this...doesn't do it. So interstate movements were never legally banned and whatever USFWS has publicly stated about this is legally wrong and cannot be enforced. Shipping within and between the 49 continental states is perfectly legal.

Assuming of course, that animals are legally obtained and legal in the state they're going to [otherwise, that's a title 16 violation instead].

    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?
