What a gorgeous little tiger you have there :happy:

Your tiger has actually metamorphosed, so is no longer neotenic. Neotenic means that it would still have gills and be aquatic, even though it has reached maturity. Below is a link with some very useful information, there are further links at the bottom of that page as well.

Caudata Culture Species Entry - Tiger salamander

Further down the main page is a section dedicated to Tiger salamanders, have a good read there too :)

Species, Genus & Family Discussions - Tiger Salamander & Axolotl (<i>Ambystoma tigrinum</i>, <i>A. mavortium</i> spp, etc.) at Caudata.org Newt and Salamander Portal

All your information will be there. Please do keep us updated with Beastmode.

    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?
