Finally got around to taking some pics of my cheoah salamanders...

They are similar to P. shermani (the red legged race) but only occur in the Nantahala, Cheoah and one more mountain who's name is slipping my mind.

Here is the female.

And his home.

They have been settling in nicely over the past week or so and have been basically where you see them there whenever I poked my head in.

:)
 
Very cool. Boone? Now there's a mander-maniac's Zion!
 
I keep them at my room temperature... I like it cold so it is usually around 50-60.

And yes, Boone is the place to be for salamanders. :)
 
Very cool! They remind me alot of the north Ga "shermani."
 
Any updates Bradley?
 
Well, I hate to admit it, but the male escaped a while back. Don't know how... She has been doing great though, still sitting on her rock and eating everything I throw in there. I haven't had any temps problems, they seem happy sitting on the floor. I like changing out the substrate once a month when its warm. Had a fungal problem last fall, but that cleared up quick after changing and cleaning. All in all its been well, just wish he didnt leave :,(

    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?
