Rana Sylvatica Color Morph?

I am sorry to hear this. If it is any consolation, you are most certainly not the only one to lose an amphibian to heat. If you look at old posts, you will see that clearly. You have learned a very tough lesson. Don't let it stop you, but let it guide you. Be very conservative about maximum temperatures for amphibians. I lost a Xenopus (African underwater frog) to heat on a move last summer because I just thought that one was tropical enough to be OK. I was far more careful with my other amphibians, so they made it.

I've seen metallic-blue phase green frogs before in Nova Scotia. They can be very blue, or just on the head, They also occur in brown to olive, and occasionally a bright turbo green all over. Though brown legs, fading to dark green at the nose seems to be the most common ive seen. Blue is exceptionally rare, and I never seem to encounter them at ponds. Usually in pastures, away from regular habitats.

    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?
