I've been keeping ACD's for 4 years now, and I've been hearing and reading a lot of different opinions on temperature. One facility I visited says they keep their frogs at about 75, while I've seen listings saying 55-80 is good.
What's everyone out there keeping their frogs at? (Mine are at room temp, varying from 67-75.)

I keep my ADFs at room temp 68-74 depending on the season. I would love to move them into my basement where all my fish and caudates are but trying to heat the water to the proper temp would be a waste of electricity.

    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?
