I am not exactly a new member, have been here a while but rarely post cos I seem to spend most of my time reading.
I keep a variety of newts and salamanders plus frogs and toads and find this place excellent for information.

Welcome Madelene! A fellow Bristolian :D. Well, I'm not actually a local but I've lived here for more than 10 years. What newts and sals do you keep?

Thanks for the welcome.
I have...
Paddle tails, Alpines, Italian crested, marbled, japanese and chinese firebellies and some baby Hong Kong warty newts.
Also 4 barred fire salamanders, 2 yellow and 2 orange phase.

You know how it is I started of with a pair of newts and the bug bite me.

What do you keep?

Orange salamandra! I'm coming round with my camera :cool:. That's quite a collection.

I keep dusky salamanders, three lined salamanders, spotted salamanders, alpine newts, marbled newts, Pyrenean brook sals, and JFBN

I used to live in Bristol, do I get street cred? I was a PhD student at the University of Bristol until ~2004. In any case, welcome (belated) Madelene.

    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?
