I'm from North Carolina. I was a vet tech for many years and have kept all sorts of mammals in the past, but I'm fairly new to reptiles and amphibians. My husband and I currently have zoo in our house. The list of animals we keep as of today is:

Marbled Salamander
Axolotls x 2 (melanoid albino & melanoid)
Fire-bellied Toads x 4
Great Plains Toad
Ball Pythons x 4 (Ivory, Pastel Enchi, Mojave x 2)
Yellow-bellied Slider
Common Musk Turtle
Bearded Dragons x 2
Tarantulas x 4
Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches
Various other invertebrates
Various fish
Dog
Too many cats

It's a lot of work (and money!) keeping them all happy, but I love every bit of it.

    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?
