Can he get out?

Hello, yesterday I got my first axie and he's great (don't actually know the gender but I'd like a he for some reason), however he has this little cave that he's taken to hiding in. I'm just wondering, can he get out? The interior floor of the cave is smooth plastic and I heard that axolotls need something to grip on to to be able to move.
Also, I know the picture makes the background look extremely bright but it's really not!

That's a huge looking cave, he should be able to get out. And axolotls don't have to have substrate to move, it's just less stressful on the axolotl when there is a substrate. If you're really worried, just move him out or put some sand in there.

    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?
