I got myself a camera eyepiece gadget for my dissection scope (disclaimer: no newts were dissected in the making of these pictures) and took these pics of some of my apuanus larvae (and one pyrrh egg).

The gadget is fun, but the resolution if pretty lousy; I'm shopping around for a better (and probably more expensive) one...

magnifications are 10 X and 30 X

    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?
