Great night herping, for me, bad night for these guys. This was one of the the earliest Ambystoma movements recorded in VT (along with other records from that evening around the state. See vtherpatlas.org). It was in the 50s and raining this evening, but the ground froze up again a few days later, and temperatures were below 0F. There were also a lot of wood frogs out and about, over 50 of which had been hit by cars in a stretch of 200 feet.

    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?
