I found these a few months back as eggs in a small vernal pool in the woods. I raised them and they have done very well, but I'm not sure of the species. Arkansas has many native salamanders and newts, so i don't know where to start except coming to the many knowledgable people on Caudata. Ill attach pictures and a website that has the native salamanders of Arkansas. Any information will help, thanks!

Anyone? I really need help with these. Should I just wait until they get a little older?
 
It looks like Ambystoma maculatum to me
 
They have the same colouring and pattern as my little maculatum :D

    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?
