Plethodon glutinosus. No subspecies, but a small stack of named and unnamed species. It can be quite difficult at times to ID them from appearance, especially in populations with hybrid backgrounds, but these look like textbook P.glutinosus.
There are differences in underside coloration which can be important to identify some, and that's not visible here. Some species and color phases are so tricky that you need every clue, including underside color and at least the state of origin. Some states may have half a dozen species of slimies, plus woodlands and hybrids, but at least you can rule out another 15 choices right from the start.

It's nearly impossible to tell, but I do want to tell you that those are absolutely beautiful specimens. I don't believe that I have ever seen any with side coloration like that.
Good luck, man. They're a great species to work with.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
