I got 1 Bombina bombina and 1 B. variegata in from a petshop friend about maybe 3-4 years ago. They died from very strange maladies, probably wildcaught. I don't think B. maxima is in the States, but I very well may be mistaken. Albino B. variegata can be found, but they are so ugly in my opinion. Bombina are illegal in my state, sad, as they are one of my favorite genuses(sp.?). Thanks, JVK

I see Bombina bombina and B.variegata now and then in pet stores here, though they are illegal. The Asian species are legal, and stores really don't realize a difference when ordering from out of province. I've also seen the albinos once. Unfortunately, never come across B.maxima, in any of its subspecies.

    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?
