I got stacks of them in my "swamp". I dont do any thing to them. Brought about 20 of them home from the local creek a few years ago and they just breed and breed and breed. I like them and in summer they croke. Ponds full of tadpoles at the moment

One more thing
Do you have a licence to keep frogs and you cant take them from the wiled due to heavy fines.
 
Think you guys can keep one of these w/o a permit...but check around first. Assuming these are pobblebonks?

The weird thing is is that up here in the US they are available CB...wonder how that happened?
 
Na these is not a pobbelbonk frog it is a striped marsh frog. Without a level 1 permit you cant keep them but with a level 1 permite you can.

In australia there are harsh rules protecting all native amphibians.
 
im glad I don't live in australia for that reason!!(is it the same law for reptiles too??)
 
yep exactly the same for reptiles, sept uoy need a reptile licence then.

    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?
