hi frog man, just a few things.
firstly you've made lots of psts, so why not join the forum. we're all friendly here!
secondly you've said that you want nearly every species in the book. you need to chose one species per tank. i can vouch for triturus marmoratus as a good species to keep. and any other triturus lissotriton or mesotriton would live outside in your shed. ambystoma opacum would be okay, but it is very difficult to breed them. i'll be very lucky to do it myself. i can't speak with experience for any other groups like salamandra etc you'll need someone else for that.

It depends on what kind of environment you raise the eggs and larvae, as long as there are no predetors and they don't get sick (which can kill off entire batches, lost 181 this last year to bacteria), they have a very high survival rate. There will always be the odd mutant or weakling that dies off.

It is far too late to get eggs this year under natural circumstances. Should you require any help in spring please let me know.
Also i agree with Ben, you really should concentrate on just 1 species to begin with it makes success far more likely,
Adam

i'd suggest a hardy lissotriton/mesotriton or triturus species
mesotriton alpestris is a good starter species. but i'd stay away from lissotriton italicus and triturus vittatus to start with.
