I've been helped by this site quite a bit, and figured I'd join and post some ambystomid pics in the appropriate section. I caught this Ambystomata texanum (smallmouth) as a larvae in our small pond this spring, at about 1/2 inch, and raised it on insect larvae and small worms. It's now about 2.5 inches long, and eats like a pig for such a small mouth. I've also got two tigers I got from a bait shop in Nebraska as larvae, which are about a foot long each. I'll post more pics of tanks and setup in future. I had a tiger salamander I caught as an adult when we lived in Nebraska, and kept it for 8 years.

    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?
