Jonathan A. Campbell , Edmund D. Brodie Jr ., J. Cristián Blancas-Hernández , & Eric N. Smith, 2013. Another New Salamander of the Genus Pseudoeurycea from the State of Guerrero, Mexico. South American Journal of Herpetology, 8(3):198-202.

Abstract. A new salamander of the genus Pseudoeurycea is described from the Mexican state of Guerrero, bringing the number of species in this genus known from this state to nine. It occurs on the Pacific slopes of the Sierra Madre del Sur in the western portion of the state. This new salamander is diagnosed from Guerrero congeners by its morphology and color pattern.


Pseudoeurycea kuautli is apparently closely related to P.amuzga, and is named in honor of Kraig Adler. “Kuautli” is Guerreran Nauatl for “eagle”, which in German is “Adler”. This parallels the gecko Eurydactylodes agricolae, named for Aaron Bauer [“farmer” being “bauer” in German and “agricola” in Latin].


With my many thanks and appreciation to Dr. Jonathan Campbell.

    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?
