for the past few years i have been trying to get some of these. though they do natrualy live in this area i would prefer captive bred.
they where actually the first herps i had owned, i was 6 years old. and yes they lived a long time. i had them for over 5 years, until 1 choked on a fly that was too large and the other got inside a fake rock and drowned.
every store use to have them, i bought these guys at meijers, a grocery store, of all places. however sence those days i have never seen any store with them. while i am sure many of those in store ones where wild caught and its good that it has gone down. i dont know why you never see them anymore.
every place has the firebellys.
i would like to know if there are any places in south west ohio that sells or breeds them, as well as axotls(spelling)
