Just realized that I have not done any update for a long time.... So here you go~
The CB T. verrucosus are almost 2-year old now, I have moved them from semi-aquatic settings to the current terrestrial one few months ago. So far they seem to be very happy about their new home. One of them is really light colored, I think it may even be hypomelanistic.

Three of the four CB T. kweichowensis are thriving, growing fast and becoming bold and active. But the smallest one got some infection on the head, and now it is much much smaller than the others... I am treating it with some antibiotic and currently keep it on wet paper towel. Hopefully it will make it.

The breeding group of WC T. yangi are almost 2-year old now, stomaches of my females are swelling, hopefully I can see some breeding actions this summer.

Hope you guys enjoy the photos

Cheers

Kai

    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?
