Hello everyone, well Ive just received my sexed pair of Triturus carnifex (Italian Crested Newts) a couple of hours ago. They are between 10-12cm long. They have just came out of hibernation so placed them on the land part first. But within 5 mins they were exploring their new home and went for a swim. Will post some pics later.

Good looking beasties you have there. I have always liked their coloring. Not bright but it has a certain depth to it that bright colors can't seem to manage.

    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?
