Hello, I am 45 years old, live in the great state of Michigan and surrounded by my favorite resource, water! I have to say this is an amazing site with the community, info, photos, etc!! Keep up the great work. I've been addicted to collecting amphibians and reptiles since I was a small child, but just recently got back into the hobby by adding a few newts to my home. I have two Spanish Ribbed Newts (Pleurodeles waltl) and one Chinese Fire bellied newt (Cynops orientalis). My passion also lies in creating unique, custom enclosures for my aquatic crew. I use the Walstad method in all of my interior wetlands.
Here are some photos of my Spanish Ribbed Newt enclosure.
Thanks again

    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?
