My last question on the Petranka book:

If anyone has this book, can you please turn to page 463? (ha ha I used to teach)
Second column, first full paragraph beginning with "Taricha granulosa and T. torosa are often difficult to distinguish...A behavioral difference is also useful. When assuming an intense unken posture...T. torosa holds the tail tip out straight, whereas sympatric T. gran curls the tail tip into a single coil..."

Now turn to page 469 and look at the picture (fig. 297) labeled "Taricha granulosa defensive posturing..."
Is this just mislabeled or am I missing something?

Thanks

    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?
