Hi,

I'm hoping to try and get my hands on some taricha granulosa this spring, based on what I've heard from the local pet shops the only way for me to do this is to wild catch my own. I'm hoping to try and find eggs once the mating season begins as the ethics of taking live animals is questionable at best and raising my own from eggs seems like the most responsible way for me to go about this.

Would anyone on the forum have advice about this? Best way to identify/keep eggs? Where to look(Humboldt County)?

Thanks everyone!

    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?
