Found these little guys on Whidbey Island, beneath someone's wood pile. Just wanted to share these little guys!

I believe they are Ensatina e. oregonensis. Cute little guys!

I'd agree with them being ensatina e. orgonensis. They seem to have a pretty far range. I don't know if their area map includes Whidbey island, but it certainly makes the most sense to me. Good find! Ensatina are very interesting.

    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?
