15 kg giant salamander found in Shenzhen

it says reptile in the text... we all know its not ;)
 
There is one about that size in Beijing zoo - if you are ever in the neighbourhood check it out - amazing hehhehe
 
That's big, that's heavy, but that's not all that amazing when you consider that the biggest giant salamander recorded in Japan was 1.5 meters long and weighed 27.6 kilograms. It died in 2002, but you can see it stuffed here:

    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?
