Hello, last year a friend had a relative who owned a newt. This relative couldn't keep the newt anymore, and so I agreed to take it! :happy:
I truly love my new friend, but I never understood what species he actually is. Maybe you can help?

I also don't know how old he is... the owner said he had him for one year. Is it possible he is 2 years old?

Definitely looks like a warty newt, one of my favourites

    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?
