I've been keeping an eye on this light T.karelinii larva for a while now. At first it just looked lighter than normal, but now it is obviously special.

Just so there is no confusion, I plan to keep this one and it's parents/sibblings and let them breed next year and hope to produce a white race of this species....just to piss off the newt racists! Enjoy :)

We've got cristatus like this breed it against a wildtype for best results

That's the plan. I've kept both albino cristatus and flavistic carnifex and have heard about the higher chance of weak offspring when crossing two light animals. I wouldn't be able to cross this with another light one anyways because it's my only one this color. It should be interesting to see what happens.

    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?
