Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for online purchasing of newts or salamanders? Preferably with reasonable shipping charges. I live in a small town with very few pet stores. Thanks!

The best place is Caudata.org classifieds The 2nd best place is email me and I'll send you a price list shrommj@ptd.net The 3rd best place is some of the other breeders on the forum. The 4th best place is Kingsnake.com amphibian classifieds Beware of the additional risk involved with wild caught animals.

The BEST place would be from one of our own forum members, 126. He is a real pro when it comes to caring for newts and salamanders. He has lots of captive bred from different species, good prices and I can tell you personally he takes great care of his animals. His prices are good too. Wild caught animals are bad enviromentaly and are usually kept in pretty bad conditions, buyingn one is always a crapshoot to see if it lives or dies.

He is in south Carolina. I heartily recommend him.

With such glowing reviews this thread may get moved to the testimonial section :D.

Just to make this even more of a testimonial, I recommend everyone already mentioned wholeheartedly, as well as quite a few others on this site.:D

I've heard nothing but good reviews since I joined the forum. I was a potential buyer of Mr. Schrom, and he handled my business VERY well! He was willing to answer all of my (tedious) questions, and it was many e-mail correspondances...I did not purchase in the end though. This was not a result of anything more than me not having the money available to invest in a new specimen and it's care needs. He was a true gentleman, and has many species to choose from..Most are not seen commonly on an American market!
Best of luck!

    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?
