Hello, first time poster...

I have a question regarding my P. Labiatus skin. It seems that the skin on the center of their back is very shiny looking. They are adults in the 7" range. I noticed there is some shedding going on, so I was thinking this might be their new skin in areas of the shed, but not sure. They seem very healthy and in good shape.

Thanks!
 
I'm a bit confused. P. labiatus normally have very slick shiny looking skin. How is this "shiny" different from the rest of the skin? Are you sure of the species ID?
 
Well, it I know they are a smooth skin newt, but it seems it's very shiny in certain areas. Mostly it's on their back if that helps.

    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?
