New member here! I have not necessarily been a part of the newt and salamander hobby per se, but I did spend a significant portion of my childhood admiring them and searching for them in the woods. Currently I am dart frog keeper with a significant collection in my care. But I have always wanted salamanders and particularly the Salamandra ssp. And therein lies my problem. I remember several years ago all the foreign species were banned from importation into the country, so whatever we have now is what we will ever have. So my question(s) is how vast is the hobby? Is the hobby still hurting from these regulations? And are the foreign species too rare at this point to last very long?
I am hoping some of the older salamander keepers can chime in and inform me on their thoughts about the current status of the salamander hobby. I will appreciate any of your thoughts!
