Salamandra s. burrows?

I know s.s likes to hide (in moss, under rocks) but has anyone ever encountered one that burrows? And when i mean by burrowing i dont mean digging a little hole in the ground and staying there but digging deep into the substrate? Is this behavior normal? I always thought the digging behavior to be relgated to the tigers...

In the wild they do especially during the warmer and colder months of the year

Normally they dont "dig", but use holes from other animals in the wood.

I agree to Uwe.
Have a look HERE; you can see a Fire Salamander "vanish" in his burrow (probably an old mouses´ one).

    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?
