Been fascinated with Eurycea this last week or so and started looking into the more uncommon species. I see that there are quite a few neotenic species endemic to the areas near/around south-central TX that live in springs and their outflows. I know a most of them are under ESA protection but E. troglodytes, latitans, pterophila, and neotenes are not. Are those species able to be legally caught and kept? Has anyone done so before (with or without permits)? Would it be possible to breed them?

    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?
