Just went herping today with a good friend of mine and we found some fun stuff. It had been raining off and on throughout the day. We are in a bit of a drought here (5-7" short of rainfall for this time of the year), so the rain was welcomed. My friend an I found numerous green, norther leopard, and bull frogs. we also heard some gray tree frods and found a few spring peepers. Came across a real colorful male box turtle, 4 or 5 garter snakes, and a brown snake. We also came across a few ticks. Overall it turned out to be a pretty good day for not expecting to find anything.

    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?
