Does anyone know if it is illegal for someone to ship Taricha from California to another state? I'm having trouble finding anything on this online.

The only Taricha species legal to collect is T. granulosa. Selling native species is illegal but collecting certain species for personal use is legal with a CA fishing license. My understanding is that shipping is legal as long as the person collected them legally and is profiting off them (which includes trade).

Shipping CA Herps out side of the state is illegal unless you have a native prop permit or it is one of the few species that allow commercial production.

Taricha is not one of those.

    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?
