Very Nice

Hi Ian,

Very nice additions to your considerable collection.

Particularly like the orange versions, if you ever breed them let me know!

Our 'team' are doing OK.

Cheers mate,

Mike.

The algira don't resemble their adult colouration though. I'd like to see photos of the parents!

And now for the nitpicker in me! Don't you mean almanzoris? By the way, the genus name is capitalised and species and subspecies names are always lower case. For example, Salamandra salamandra terrestris, or Mesotriton alpestris apuanus.

As far as I can recall Salamandra algira gain bright red areas as they mature. There's nothing "wrong" with their colouration.

This is indeed the case in S. algira algira (as you can see in the Photos, showing 3-years-old S.a.a.), but I´m not sure about S. algira tingitana...

Greetings,
Ingo

    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?
