I was looking for a good 5th newt/salamder i have kept spotted and tiger salamanders, and california,and firebelly newts all with great success (i still have the spotted but sold the rest after 2 years but one of the 3 firebellies died.) so what do you recomend for me that is relatively easy to find?

thanks so much,
Juan

Pleurodeles waltl! They are big, bold, and very personable. In my opinion the are a very under rated newt.

Cynops ensicauda. More forgiving of warmer temperatures. Land phase is extremely easy to feed and take care of.

I'll third the P.waltl, and also second the ensicauda. Both species are fantastic; certainly two of my top choices were I to get more animals.

It's great that your enthusiastic about getting a new caudate, but this question has been asked many times before. Next time, try and use the search function, go on caudata culture, or ask in the chat.:happy: By the way, P. Watl is a great choice.

    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?
