May want a short explanation on how this affects us as owners of newts/sals.

CITES is an international treaty drawn up in 1973 to protect wildlife against over-exploitation, and to prevent international trade from threatening species

CITES- Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species

CITES regulates the trade of protected species (endangered and threatened). There are three articles to CITES, I, II, and III. These regulate how endangered a species is considered. Animals which are listed on CITES cannot be traded internationally without permits, regardless of their origin.

    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?
