Can someone clear up the difference between
Triturus alpestris alpestris
and
Triturus alpestris apuanus?

(or is one of these an error?)
(are there other T. alpestris subspecies?)

Thanks
keegan
 
Apuanus is indeed a subspecies of alpestris and it's from Italy-hence Italian Alpine newt. www.amphibian.co.uk has a caresheet for alpestris and also describes most of the subspecies.

    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?
