Hello,everybody!
I'm from CHINA.
It's my first time posting new thread on this website.
Because i don't browse this forum frequently,i don't know whether there are newt fans who have showed pictures of this species.
As i know, this newt is a kind of new species,or subspecies.Related articles will publish soon.It belongs Tylototriton,but different from "Tylototriton shanjing" and "Tylototriton kweichowensis" which we already konw.Information of this newt is very little on website.
The destruction of habitat and buissmen‘s catching are great threats to this species.Nomal people don't know them,experts don't pay attention to them.There're some Newt Lovers try to breed them,however because legal construction is backward,all these have to be down secretly.I really hope this species will not die out.
(i'm not from English-speaking country ,please forgive my mistakes of the language)

Hi, and welocme to the forum!

This form of Tylototriton is kept by a few people on this forum, particularly in the USA. I think some people have done well breeding it. I hope that conservation measures are put in place to protect it in the wild. Does it live in any protected areas?

This is a possible new subspecies of Tylototriton if I'm not mistaken (as I have a sexed pair of them myself) They are classified as T.cf.kweichowensis but someone has unofficially named them T.liangshanensis or Liangshan Crocodile Salamander (which I actually really like the sound of personally). Someone from the forum made this thread, take a look if you get the chance :)
Liangshan Crocodile Salamanders.

A few people on the forum from what i have seen have got these PNS which are being imported in as T.kweichowensis.

    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?
