I rescued this little girl from a friend who brought it from the Houston area and was keeping it as if it was a bearded dragon! Luckily he had a water dish and a not so powerful heat lamp. Anyways she has been with me for the past month and she seems almost like a small tiger salamander! Feeding from forceps and being crepuscular or diurnal begging for food.

Despite being quite reclusive in nature, this species is a pleasure to care for in captivity. Very bold, and yes, very willing to feed! I hope you enjoy this gem of a caudate!

Awe what a cutie! Marbled salamanders are one of my favorite Ambystoma species. Not only because they're pretty, but they make great photo faces!

    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?
