Just wondering if when shipping newts in the summer with cold packs, do you place the cold packs in the Styrofoam box with the container that has the newts, or do you put the newts in the Styrofoam box and place the cold packs around it?

Inside the styrofoam box, but make sure the cold pack doesn't actually touch the container the newts are in. Separate them with newspaper or something.

    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?
