I just wanted to show off my two lovely adult female Ringed Salamanders (Ambystoma annulatum).

Nice specimen,

How do you keep it?
¿Photo terrarium?
I keep them in a large plastic storage tub, with about 5 inches of damp mixed coconut coir/sheet moss as a substrate. I feed them earthworms. I'll post a picture of their setup when I get home.
They look great are they any easier to breed than its relatives??
I have not bred mine yet, but I would say that they are not any easier than other Ambystoma.

Thanks!

Thomas

I am looking for an Ambystoma salamander for my comparative study, but something unusual like a ringed salamander. They really are gorgeous creatures. I don't suppose you have one you can sell?

    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?
