They've spent some two months in the fridge, but are back in town since a few days: i've built them a new tank and they seem to like it.......

What keeps them from making their way out, is there a lid usually, just removed for pictures?

I love the tank though!
 
There's no lid. Bombina maxima likes it cool and
well-ventilated and are blessed with a very calm
behaviour, they don't climb, and hopping is very restricted.
 
Even with their cool demeanor, it still seems like quite a risk to me. It looks awfully easy for one to get out just by crawling along the leaves of those plants.
 
Just a matter of accurate and lasting observation
before i decided to create this set-up: no risk at all, imho.
 
Out of interest Han, would you keep B.orientalis in this beautiful setup, or would they be more likely to escape than B.maxima?
 
I wouldn't keep Bombina orientalis in this set-up. They are more lively, athletic and jumpy and
would certainly find their way out.
Han.
 
I've also some maxima's (5 juveniles). Han, your photo's are a good inspiration. Where do you bought the plastic plants?
 
Silk plants actually, fake but good looking.
Cheapest source for those are all kinds of garden-shops like Intratuin, Europatuin etc.

    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?
