Hello all,

I wonder how long could live a newt, anyone knows? or at least, the maximum time that someone has had one at home.

Regards
 
My three Notophthalmus v. dorsalis are approaching at least 18 years. Or maybe they've already passed that... I keep forgetting how old I am :eek:

I think Jen's were older...
 
I searched this theme in the forum but no results were found, sorry, keywords are different.
 
I have a male Chinese Firebelly that is 11 and very healthy. I didnt know they lived that long when I got him, boy was I surprised when he lived over 3 years, which is what the store said they live for 3-4 years.

    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?
