Lid for temporary set up?

I've taken my daycare centres axolotls home for a few weeks so I can monitor the water temperature better - it got to 25C this weekend so home they came....

I've got them in an esky with ice bricks and a filter, but I wasn't sure about the lid - if I pop the lid on, I'm worried about air exchange. I'd be checking on them about every hour while I'm home but they might be left with the lid on for up to 10 hours while I'm sleeping or at work.

If I have the lid off, the water temp is likely to rise faster and there's the risk my strong girls will jump out. What's a possible solution?? Thanks!

    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?
