Hello, All!

I am a newt/salamander collector and enthusiast from Colorado.

I got into the hobby a few years ago with a handful of rescued tiger salamanders. From there, I have slowly accumulated a variety of others. this is my collection as it stands today:

Tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum)
Axolotls (Ambystome mexicanum)
Rough-Skin Newts (Taricha granulosa)
Ensatina Salamanders (Ensatina eschscholtzii)
Iberian Ribbed Newts (Pleurodeles waltl)
Chinese Firebelly Newts (Cynops orientalis)
Red-Cheek Salamanders (Plethodon jordani)

and in the process of, hopefully, acquiring Cave Salamanders (Eurycea lucifuga)

I love the wide variety and cute personalities these creatures bring into my home!

I know I'm late but if you ever want any Taricha Granulosa we have some that are eggs right now and will be ready to sell in 8-12 months

    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?
