Hello. My name is Melody. I grew up in Orlando Florida and live in Riverview Florida. I have a couple of planted terrariums, and keep green tree frogs, anoles, rough green snakes and most recently chinese fire-bellly newts.

I am particularly interested in Eastern Newts. This is a pretty new world for me, so forgive me of any newt ignorance I may be guilty of. I am learning.

Thank you.

Eastern Newts do pretty well in an aquarium. They need about 1/2 the tank filled with water as well as a place were they can easily haul out of the water. A good tank cover is a must, otherwise they will climb out and die inside your house. The will eat both live and freeze dried food that is available from most pet stores. By Gregg L. Friedman MD

    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?
