Timmy, your tiger does not need water or moss. All it needs is moist soil to burrow in. You will not find tigers in the wild living in moss like Plethodontids, they are living several inches below the moss, underground. In fact, as Ed points out in the care sheet, the acidity of the moss can be harmful. As for water dishes, they are often present when tigers die mysteriously of wierd infections. hmmmm....

    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?
