Snakes can't see the red or blue spectrum so with a red or blue light in the enclosures at night they thought they were in darkness & therefore were easily observable as they moved around. They would not come out of their hides if even a subdued white, yellow or green light was used.
I was wondering if amphibians & in particular axolotls were like reptiles in so far as they may not be able to see certain spectrums or colours? It would be great if there was a coloured globe we could use at night so we could observe the animals without causing undue stress.
Does anyone know if they can see the full spectrum or observed any changes in behavior regarding your animals with changed or coloured lighting?

    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?
