Does anybody keep uncommon Alpine newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris alpestris)

I'm wondering if anybody keeps alpine subspecies other than alpestris and apuanus.
In the UK especially, I've only heard of breedings of alpestris, reiseri and apuanus recently.
I've heard of inexpectatus and veluchiensis being bred in the past but nothing recently. So, what I'm asking is, is there anyone that actually breeds/keeps anything other than the ones mentioned?

I know someone who keeps I. a. veluchiensis. And I feel like I heard of someone who had I. a. inexpectatus, but I am not certain, and I can't remember who? I am sure there are more people who keep those species though....

    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?
