I was going through childhood photos and came across a photo I took of my Paramesotriton that I only had for a week or two before it died (and 9 year old me didn’t think of taking a photo of it until after it had died). Anyways, I was curious if anyone had any idea of what species it could have been.
Also, I sporadically see someone post a picture of a lone adult every so often on FB, but never any juveniles. Does anyone currently work with breeding these guys?

Thanks!

It looks like it could have been P. caudopunctatus. That’s my guess anyway based on the faint markings.

    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?
