These are photos of the "Cole Springs Phenotype" of E. cirrigera. This form is much stockier than other 2-lined salamanders with a very stout, triangular head.

Wonderful photos -- not just these but the others posted today too. Hope we can expect more pics of your menagerie in the days/weeks/months to come!

How aquatic are these?
 
Hi Tim, I do hope to add photos of courtship, eggs, larvae, etc. in the future

All of these small Eurycea (excluding lucifuga, longicauda, and guttolineata) will remain 100% aquatic in captivity if encouraged to do so and do not encounter any predator stimuli in the water.

    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?
