its a tiger salamander of some species (it was asked to be identified a few days ago) there was some debate on the exact species though

Its a Gray Tiger Salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum diaboli. They have a stockier body with a wide "paddle" tail compared to other tigers subspecies. The tip of the tail should regenerate. No idea what the green spot is, as the previous post stated, perhaps it is shedding.

    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?
