Very interesting indeed. I wonder just how many actually spend their lives in trees and how this will affect future population studies.

ive seen the polypodium scouleri fern mats that they live in... they are rather large. i was just in the redwoods a few weeks ago and i looked for vagrans, however i believe it was too cold. i am going to go back this spring and check the same fern mat to see if anybody is home. i am going to check at night with a flashlight for individuals exposed. i have become very fond of finding animals with a flashlight while they are active. it prevents any need for disturbing habitat and you get to see them being active.

    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?
