Reptile Carpet

I've got a small (1.5 inches at most!) Tylototriton verrucosus on the verge of morphing (sitting ontop of the plants a lot, not wanting to dive). I plan on setting them up in a long tub (~30 gals), propped up on one end, so the top is dry, the bottom has ~2 inches of water. I want the little morphing one to be able to climb out. Since he's on plastic, I thought maybe putting reptile carpet (The green stuff) in the tub so he can get traction to climb out. Has anyone ever used this? Is it safe in aquatic situations?
 
I use it! my tiger salamander uses it to go out of the water! It works well....
 
I've never used it in water, but it seems like it should be safe in water. If the floor of the tub is uneven, the newt may want to hide under it.

    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?
