The first just started morphing last Saturday, now they are climbing out like crazy!

Well done!!
This is a gorgeous subspecies, trully stunning creatures, despite being so heavily underapreciated.

Good luck with the morphs, as i´m sure you know they are not the easiest to raise but i´m sure you´ll succeed :)

Keep us updated, it´s refreshing to see more breeding of this species.
 
Truth be told, I did not breed these, I just raised up some eggs I traded from Jake a while back. May be a few years before I pull it off myself.

I feel these are some of the easiest larvae I have worked with to date. I just kept their pond tank stocked with lots of live foods and let them do their thing. I am still shocked how small they are! from egg to morph these guys are the smallest caudate I have ever worked with. The first morphs are barely 20mm long!
 
Good pics, have you any neotenic larvae of L vulgaris?
 
And you are suggesting you can take shots of this salamander? I'm usually down to drink anything...but that even seems a bit odd for me.

Prolly get you pretty drunk 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?
