I found this one under some leaf litter along side a smaller creek in Ottawa, Ontario. Anyone have an idea of what kind?

Looks like some kind of Plethodon. Maybe Plethodon cinereus? I think they can have a coloration like that. Someone with more experience in that area could probably give a better ID.
 
Eastern redback salamander, Plethodon cinereus. Other plethodontids occur in Ontario and Quebec, but the redback is the only one in that area, and the only one which looks like this [albeit a dark color phase].

    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?
