I know the caudata community enjoys salamandrina pictures so here are some more:

Females laying:

Two types of egg-laying:
on sticks

and under stones

other inhabitants of the same wood:
Salamandra gigliolii

their larvae were found in the same places where the salamandrinas were laying

I bet these larvae won't die of hunger once the salamandrina larvae hatch!

Hope you enjoy the pictures

    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?
