Hello! I have a young eastern red-spotted eft and have recently noticed him occasionally doing an odd full-body twitch and shudder, usually accompanied by opening his mouth widely. He's acting totally normal otherwise, roaming his tank, hunting, eating, etc. I haven't changed anything in his tank recently. Is there anything that could explain this? Thanks.
 
It's not always soon after feeding, but I know he doesn't always eat right after I feed him (he eats live insects, so he doesn't always catch and eat them right when I put them in his tank. This morning my partner saw the newt doing it before I I fed him though- he spent some time at his water dish, then climbed down and did the "sneeze" thing.

    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?
