I got what was ordered as a baby two toed amphiuma and the animal itself look like one, same head shape, two toned coloration etc... But what confuses me is that this particular specimen has two toes on the back legs but only one on the front legs. It does not look like a pholeter (wrong head structure). Is this possible that it's just a mutant or damaged two toes? Or do pholeter have two toes on hind legs.

It's in a temporary setup while I figure out what it is.

    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?
