If you're looking for amphibians, cruise country roads in the early evening during or right after rains.

also, is exploring the canadian river (in oklahoma) worth it to possibly find mudpuppies? i looked it up and it said they were rather elusive, so i don’t want to drive all the way out there, turn over a bunch of rocks in some cold water, and find nothing. would be thrilled if i could find one though

It will be hard right now - try at night in the winter with a flashlight in the shallows.

    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?
