Beautiful specimens. Thank you for sharing!
 
Great photos. Hopefully I can see some this nice in the future.
 
This is a really nice thread - I love all the variation in the mud salamanders you've posted. You certainly seem to be in a great area for muds! I'd love to come down to your area to herp sometime, especially considering you're not far from the blue ridge mountains and the cumberland mountains.

    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?
