Hungry Abystoma Gracile

This is one of my Ambystoma gracile gracile, aka Brown salamander, and Northwestern salamander. This particular individual sticks its head out and spies me through the moss when it knows that it is feeding time. Although she is very polite, she doesn’t think twice about grabbing the worm with her lightning fast reflexes.

Oh Yeah, I Want That Worm!

Nice looking animal. Don't see too many pictures of those on the site. Are they common in the hobby, and do you know if there has been success captive breeding?
 
Hi Mark,

No, they are not common in the hobby, and I am not aware of any successful captive breeding. See, that's how much I know - not much! They are very impressive animals.

Well they were oned in Luxembourg by Robert Thorn, but that's the only captive breeding article I know about ...

    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?
