I stumbled upon this great video, and thought it would be interesting to share it here.
It´s largely about anurans (in fact there are just a couple caudate shots) but it affects our precious caudates just as well.
The video has superve images, and i think it succeeds at showing the variety of menaces that affect amphibians nowadays....and the priceless work of many dedicated people.
I´m not ashamed to say that at one point while watching the video my eyes were moist....

With offline interruptions, I watched all of this. I liked how they smoothly and regularly mentioned other amphibians along with the frogs. I also liked the many ways they tied things in to human-relevant issues to get the viewer more involved. And it was lovely to watch just for the flora and fauna. (How come y'all herpies never take a video technician along when you go sludging?)

Thanks so much for this link. I'll definitely be watching it again - next time, with others.

    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?
