I have two (raised from eggs) longtoed salamanders. They are eating and getting bigger, however, I wanted to know about their growth rate. I know what the fact sheets say, they can get up to 3-4 inches long, however I was wondering if there was a time frame attached to that. Does growth rate have to do with tanks size like some fish? Does it have to do with frequency of feedings? Does anyone have experience with longtoed salamanders and their growth patterns? Here are 3 comparison pictures and the dates. Obviously they are growing, but oh, so slowly.

    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?
