Here's some pictures of an albino Ambystoma barbouri at the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center at the University of Kentucky.

Very nice salamander! Stream Side Salamanders are very nice indeed. Wonder where they found this little guy. To me this little A. barbouri looks leucistic, lacking pigment in the body but the eyes have dark color. What ever the case this is a nice post. Thanks for sharing!

    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?
