I just got a new 40 gallon tank that is divided in half. I plan on putting my marbled salamander on one side and my spotted on the other. I'm pretty excited because I got this tank for only 30 bucks. Anyways. I was wanting peoples input on how I should set up the 2 seperate sides for the different salamanders. Thanks!

A piece of plexi-glass or plastic should be fine, especially since with a terrestrial tank, you needn't worry about water circulation.

The setups would be fairly similar for those two species. Basic terrestrial with plenty of hiding places.

You can buy plastic dividers in pet stores, they are used for fish tanks but they should work.... they require no glue and have tiny holes...

    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?
