good luck on trying to own one even the zoos in the USA are trying to breed them and if you find one for sale im pretty sure it will be a round in the hundred thousand range

A little village called Terheijden
They're breeding them in Japan. I've attended a lecture of a man who visited the breeding farm. The scientist who runs this farm helped filming the episode of "Life in Cold blood" in which you can see the Giant salamander. I like all the episodes btw. Well.... I like every documentary with Attenborough to be honest.

If you have a chance to visit Japan, you'll be able to see Japanese Giant Salamanders in several zoos and aquariums; exhibts always well-done; A former co-worker from my zoo days set me up with some contacts there - amazing. He's is studying them in the wild, I hope to get back soon, Frank

    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?
