I just noticed that as far as user groups go, there isn't one strictly for enthusiasts of North American newts (Notophthalmus, Taricha). I'm just curious as to why that one wasn't created. Not enough people keeping North American species? Too few species/sub species?

I think there is quite a few people keeping these. I actually dont know why there isnt a North American Newt Group, you should create one.

I would so be into this, I have a Northwestern Salamander. Did this group end up being created after all? I'd love to be able to talk to others who own the same species (A. gracile) and maybe get some questions answered (I'm a total newb when it comes to salamanders! Though I am trying very hard to learn :happy:).

Actually, Liorah, there is already a group strictly for Ambystoma enthusiasts, so you're already set to go!

    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?
