I was wondering if there is a chance of turning a fire-bellied newt terrestrial? I mean like it would still have water and all in like a bowl, kind of like a tree frog set up. I've heard that people's FBN like staying on land, and I would like to have a land dwelling newt/salamander.

I guess you can force an animal to do a lot, but whether they enjoy it or not..

If you want a land dwelling newt, why not buy one that prefers to live on land like a tiger salamander?

Well beacuse I don't know where to get them. Petstores around me do not carry any type of newt or salamander at all. I have only found one store which sells BFN. If I knew where to get more then I would have started with a more land dwelling newt/salamander in the first place. I also do not live near anywhere that I could catch one from the wild. I have tried, but no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful. I really am interested in newts and salamanders so thats why I ask about having the FBN on landish environment. I already have fish and an aquatic frog so I wanted to try another tree frog(my last one just died). But now i'm thinking of experimenting with newt/salamander keeping.
If anyone lives in British Columbia and knows a place where newts and salamanders are sold please let me know!

    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?
