like everyone else who owned the escape artists known as fire belly newts, i've witnessed a few successful and scary escapes. But I've found something so cheap and easy to use to keep our babies where they are safe.

Use duct tape to go around the top of the tank. just a single strip around the edge, so that tape sticks out toward the center a couple of inches. make sure you go over any airline tubes or cords. The newts cannot get over the ledge it creates. Works great even in shallow open tanks. Sweet eh? :D

    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?
