    Spotted Salamander Maturity?

    In April of 2019, I collected about 50 spotted salamander larvae from a pond on a property, and "transplanted" them to my pond in my backyard. They matured throughout the spring and in early summer I observed at least 5 metamorphs 10 or so feet away from the pond. Fast forward to this February...

    I didn't bring a camera...

    So sad... the funny thing was that I was on a work job out in a rural part of Georgia, and I had a break time, and I decided to go herping as all the reptiles had woken up the week before. ( I am pumped! ) Flipped the first log and their was a 7 inch P. glutinosus, one of the largest I have...

    Red salamander won't eat.

    So I have him setup with a 10 gallon tank with gently flowing cold water and lots of moss, but We will not eat. I put small earthworms in front of him, and he is not interested in them. He just waddles away or keeps going about his burrowing. He will stare at them but there is no feeding response.

    Red Salamander

    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?
