Hello all,

I've been raising a few species of Ambystoma for work, and I thought that I would post a couple of photos of some relatively recent metamorphs. The first and third photos are of mole salamanders (Ambystoma talpoideum). This was my first time raising this species, and I was astonished at how large the larvae grew prior to morphing! The second photo is of a spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum). Next to the talpoideum, I feel like the maculatum metamorph is a runt, but it is eating well.

    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?
