I had a day off work today so I decided to give the garden pond a spruce up and clear all the fallen leaves ready for spring. As I was cleaning I came upon these three characters which I photographed before releasing back into the pond:







All Palmates (T Helvetius) a female and 2 males. Last year it was a lot colder and I didn't see any newts till the end of Feb.

I also found this under some leaf litter, it must be either a smooth newt or palmate. It was tiny.

    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?
