I bought a 4" long Axolotl yesterday. He's a leucistic, very healthy looking, with ALL limbs intact [I was shocked...bought him at a pet store]. $15.
I've been hand-feeding him bloodworms and one earthworm-- I nudge them against his nose lightly and he vacuums them right up! He seems to be pretty sweet, hasn't tried to bite me at all.

Beautiful axie, he looks healthy.

Not to be a downer, but as he grows those lovely pebbles you have may get eaten and could kill him. They might look too big, but axies can eat anything smaller than their heads. It would be a better idea to have sand rather than pebbles. Easier to clean too ;)

not to mention the same size as their heads.
He'll bite your finger if you wiggle them - it's an extremely weird sensation.

    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?
