Last week I obtained myself some Taricha rivularis.
These beauty's are hard to come by and after a long time of searching if got my hand on these, 2 males and 2 females. Yahooo!

Aren't these by far the most beautifull Taricha species of them all? :D
Have a look at my T. rivularis ....... :)

Hi,

I haven't caught these myself, a german friend did.
Since they live most of the year hidden, i can imagine that they would be hard to find! :)

These newts are very cool but they do hide alot.I used to keep them and found them to be very shy except for 1 that would enter water at times.I would give them a water area atleast 2 to 3 inches if you plan on attemped breeding.Good luck with them.

    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?
