Hello my name is William and i've had a fascination with amphibians ever since I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are finding American toads on my grandfather's property. As a few years passed and my parents divorced I would spend my summers with my father who always lived near lakes and trails. Catching bullfrogs by myself since there were not other children around.
Now I am in my thirties living in the metro-Detroit area of Michigan.Working in an industrial setting. In the last couple of years my love for amphibians has reignited. The city life with all the noise and pollution depresses me
But my newts are theraputic and help me feel connected with nature.
My first newt was a female California newt who I still have. As well as other species I aquired while at Tinley lasy year.
Looking forward to learning as much as I can about these beautiful creatures :)

Thank you for the kind words Covey:) I plan on adding more live plants and decor to the enclosure. As well as shrimp and snails. I will posts more pics then :)

    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?
