Ive been searching around for about a month now and havnt been able to find any breeders selling juvenile or adult newts. The online ripoffs dont even have them! Ive never owned newts, just looking for some info on when theyre around.
Thanks!

Lots of eggs are laid in the winter and spring. Lots of juveniles are available in late summer and fall. Newts are available year round. It takes a little work searching. I keep an eye on what is offered on caudata.org, faunaclassifieds, and kingsnake.com. I try to purchase c.b. Their are lots of facebook groups that offer newts for sale. Since it is against facebook policy to offer animals for sale people use inventive ways to post what they have for sale. Caudata.org is a good place to start looking for available salamanders.

We have some for sale. All colors and are 4-5 months old, if you are interested. You can find us on facebook Rustic Home Axolotls and on our website rustichomeaxolotls.com We breed them ourselves and take really good care of them.

It depends on the species. They usually take 3 - 6 months to morpl and be shipped. I would suggest that you research you are thinking about.

    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?
