Hi All,

Have a look at these photos of a baby newt that turned up in our lounge tonight! We think it may have come in with some coal we brought in (fortunately we didn't light the fire).

It's a Triturus (or Lissotriton if you insist) helveticus - I know this as we don't have vulgaris in these parts. For an idea of scale, you can see part of my little finger in some of the photos. And I have small hands!

He's now safely out in the garden.
Tristan

    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?
