These are the 2 thermometers I have in my tank. The white one I get yesterday and it's reading 10 degrees warmer than my other one. Which one is right?! Is there a way I can fix this so I'm sure of the water temperature?

Thanks!

There is no way to tell which is accurate - need a third reading. Suggest new thermometer.

I've had a lot of luck with these: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Infra...6767437&sr=8-13&keywords=infrared+thermometer
Use for axolotl tanks, bearded dragon vivariums and feeder insect (for the beardies) enclosures. It is accurate and easy to use.

Also use the following digital thermometers in the tank - usually accurate within 2 degrees

I actually just ordered 2 thermometers just like that second one. Will be here Wednesday!

I had the same problem. Next time I bought thermometers, I checked all of the ones on the rack and got ones that matched each other and most of the other ones.

    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?
