Here's a 7" (F) A.maculatum rescued from a swimming pool in a highly developed suburban landscape. Often times I find stranded herps while working and usually will place the critter in nearby woods; however I have returned the following week only to find the same sal returned to the pool & drowned.

This spotted was one of the larger examples I've found over the years and I brought her home for rehab & to show my daughter such a great little beast. She has been kept in the enclosure shown and has readily fed on nightcrawlers & butterworms. What girth! lol

    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?
