I love how some of the more common North American species are just so cool in Europe. It's neat what we take for granted (like the spotted sals), other people think are just the spiffiest thing since sliced bread.

Great sals, Coen!

In europe it's very strange to see how fond Americans are about common european people. Like Lissotriton alpestris, They are everywhere in my garden, and you think it's very special. So it's kind of the same

Thanks all. And what to think of the L. vulgaris? Absolutely abundant here, people (not me though) generally consider it a dull and brown newt, while it is reasonably popular in the US (right?)

Totally. I think if I could trade to have L. vulgaris be native here for N. viridescens, I just might.

Hey Coen, looks like you are doing a great job of filling any empty space in your newt room! Very lovely animals, and I am still very jealous of your exclusive new caudate room!

    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?
