Thanks but I stopped accepting donations several years ago. I was sick of people thinking I was getting rich. Very annoying. Perhaps if we have a special cause I might start a gofundme page.

John I don’t give a monkeys if your rich or not , if you wanted to charge an annual membership of say £4.99 how many active members are there? I think an annual membership would be the way forward
And even if it was starting to make money it could be poured back into the website or a newt charity?!
I love the information database on here,any idea I think about for newts I quickly cross reference the website to see if it’s already been tried

I think quietly reinstating donations would be a good idea, obviously don't go full wikipedia on us. An annually fee of $6.71 USD might scare people away, who can afford 61 cents a month? Yeah, that was sarcasm...

    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?
