So i'm buying a terrarium for a frog eyed gecko and I was wondering if I can make a pond in the back for some type of aquatic frog or newt would this be ok to keep a frog eyed gecko and an aquatic newt in the same cage? would I have to put a fence around the pond?
 
I would not suggest mixing geckos and newts. It is always better to be safe. Newts and geckos require different conditions and live in completely different habitats! Frog-eyed geckos like it warm and dry; newts like it cool and wet. The gecko could drown in the water and the newt could dry out if it tries to come out of the water.

If you want a newt, just use a separate tank. Good luck :happy:

    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?
