I was curious if anyone has come across these recently? I can only seem to find old references to them and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that a decent chunk of their range was flooded to build a dam or lake front property. Does anyone find these anymore?

Here are some examples:

I found one with heavy brassy flecking just north of there in NC back in 2008. Jeff Humphries' photo is probably fairly recent.

Thanks Tim. I'm glad to hear they're still out there. I was just curious since I only saw mention of them in old references and I had to scour the Internet to find those 2 photos. Here's to hoping to see some in 2015!

    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?
