My name is, as my nickname suggests, Dominick and i'm a 20 years old male living in Belgium, Europe.

I quite recently started keeping salamanders, axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) to be precise. And i love it, it's a very rewarding time passing.
For the moment are axolotls the only salamanders i'm interested in. Not that i don't like other amphibians, but i just don't feel the urge to keep them. But i have to admit, when i made my first appearance on a reptilian, amphibian and aquarium-convention i was really amazed by the beauty of all that i saw.
And i think, that if i'd ever start keeping other amphibians, that it would be a frog-species.
But this is all irrelevant, because i'm just starting and i only wanted to have an axolotl as pet! My axolotls are still very small, my spotted leucist is just 13cm long and the albino measures 14cm.

I think it's very important that if you keep an animal as a pet, that you treat it as good as you can. And that's why i think discussion-boards like caudata.org are something great. You can just log in, and talk about the ins and outs of your pet.
I'm also a member of a dutch salamander discussion-board, but the reason i also registered for this one, is because i hope that this one is a little bit more active in the axolotl-section.

I'm very accepting towards questions, so if you guys still have some questions: just ask!
 
Welcome to the forum! Keeping salamanders is one of the most fascinating hobbies I've ever had.

    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?
