Is there any harm with an axolotl eating a small reptile like a skink?
 
I don't think they could digest it well. Almost everything they feed on are invertabrates. Plus I think even most small lizards would be too big to eat.
 
Reptiles can also carry disease as well as possibly causing your axolotl harm by attacking it.

Some more suitable foods include earthworms/nightcrawlers, frozen bloodworms, and sinking salmon pellets.
 
As stated, the lizard would most likely do more harm than good to your axolotl. Please only feed it what is recommended. Experimenting with foods is a bad idea... Lizards are far too large to digest.
 
Why? :confused: A small reptile seems like such an odd thing to even think about feeding to an axie.:eek: No offense but I am curious what brought about this question?

    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?
