What does it mean if a salamander curls its entire tail to the side? I recently aquired it, and read it's because of stress or death- but read somewhere only if it was the tip of the tail? I just want a straight answer, it's a Jefferson salamander by the way. Though I guess it would be understandable if it was stress because of a new environment, but just to be sure.

Another unrelated question: Would it be okay to keep the jefferson salamander in the same tank as a red back salamander?
 
I have newts and they curl their tail when they are scared.
 
What about keeping the two species together?
 
The Jeffersons will eat the redback. Do you have a picture of it?

    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?
