could anyone post some pictures on the Ambystoma maculatum tanks? i would like to see a pic of your vivariums. i have a few Ambystoma maculatum in my backyard. i was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on how to care/breed these animals
 
Care is similar to any ambystomatid: A woodland setup, maybe a shallow water dish.

As far as I know, no one has bred these guys in captivity. Ambystomatids seem to be fairly difficult to breed in captivity, other than the prolific axolotl.

    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?
