I love the idea of a pond in your backyard that salamanders would breed in! You are one lucky human! Please, keep us up-to-date about the progress of your little construction project!

And for the record, newts are a type of salamander. All newts are salamanders, but not every salamander is a newt. ;)

Salamander season is on us again. I pulled out 2 beauties in the last week.

I fished them out, warmed them up and put them on the wetland that our garden has become where I hope they will be OK.

I love these little guys!

The first one - a big one:



The second one - little fella:

I think I'd rather let them roam free and have the pleasure of coming across one every now and then.

No pond yet. Hasn't been necessary since it basically hasn't stopped raining for the whole year and the garden is basically a swamp. :(

    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?
