so what do you guys think-i dont know alot about fires-is this a different ssp or just a nominate variant?
 
I think it's a s. s. salamandra. Some of mine have got spots on their belly. Do you know where they come from?

no idea-its WC off the pet trade via an importer in Florida-i am presuming they,like most WC imported, are from Russia.
 
however colour varies a lot in this species. My s. s. salamandra have quite different colour patterns even if they come from the same place

Typical S.s. salamandra to me. I think most imports in the US should come from eastern Europe.

    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?
