I just got my first Vinegarroon 2 days ago and i was wondering how do people keep them in captivity.
 
Re: Eny Vinegarroon keepers out there?

I have to admit, I had to Google this to find out what it was. From what I can tell though their care is similar to regular scorpions. Dry, warm, loose substrate, and a rock or two for a hide. Since they are nocturnal you'll want to feed them gut-loaded crickets at night time when they are most active. You may want to keep a small lid with a moist cotton ball in it somewhere in the tank where it can get water when it needs it.
 
I kept a male M. giganteus briefly before trading him off. He was probably my favorite "bug" pet. Completely inoffensive, impressive, easy to care for, and fun to watch bear hug any unfortunate roaches I threw in.

I would love to try breeding them. Keeping is easy, breeding much less so.

    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?
