Temperature Question

What is the best temperature for my newt? I'm not sure his type but you can see a picture of him in my other post "my new newt Scooter"
Thanks.

Your picture was pretty small, but most newts like lower temperatures, so don't use a heater.

In reply to your other post, I gave you the link to a caresheet. That caresheet includes temperature recommendations. Warmth is stressful to newts. A healthy well-established one may endure a few weeks of temperatures above 75F, while the stress of this temperature might be enough to sicken a newly-imported pet-shop newt. See:

    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?
