This color variation of the small mouthed salamander is found in Kansas. They usually don't look like slimy salamanders with speckles on their body. You can tell this is A. texanum from the costal grooves and the fact that the head is relatively smaller than the rest of the body. I thought I'd share the photo of this beautiful salamander.

    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?
