Hi Everyone,

I'm a fourth year veterinary student and I would like to write my senior paper about axolotl husbandry and health care since I know that there are many veterinarians out there who don't even know what an axolotl is. This website has been an amazing resource for my personal axolotl care but for the paper I will need published works for sources. Any suggestions?
 
"Developmental Biology of the Axolotl" by Armstrong and Malacinski.

"Conservation status of the Genus Ambystoma in Michoacan, Mexico" by Dolores del Carmen Huacauz Elias.

"Axolotl" by Lolly Brown is a decent pet owners guide.

"Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry" by Wright and Whitaker.

Try the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center site at the University of Kentucky for lots of research and academic references. This will probably be your best resource with the most current information.
 
Thank you guys so much for your input!

    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?
