i was wondering if i needed a humidifier, shes looking a little dry lately and she has a water bowl and i've been misting her tank almost daily because the dirt keeps drying out. i was looking into a couple of different foggers and humidifiers but two are in mind:

1. repti fogger by zoomed

2.tropic aire humidifier and air exchanger with a tetra whisper 10 air pump

any suggestions would be helpful.

You do not need an humidifier for tigers. Depending on your setup they can do more harm than good due to creating an overly moist environment with potential for pathogens. A well venitlated container, with one side kept moist but not wet and the other side a little drier is best...and temps at or under 72F. Try mixing the dirt 50:50 with reconstituted coco-fiber blocks like Bead-a-Beast or Eco-Earth.

    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?
