Just curious what everyone uses for substrate and where ypu get your leaves for leaf litter? I'm using coco fiber right now but wanna make her tank a more natural setting
 
My group have a mix of coco fibre and regular soil. The soil is from my garden and is chemical free. They have some flat stones and some small branches flat on the ground. I have recently added a pile of oak and beech leaves. Since I have added these the opacum have become much more active. I think it is because they feel more secure knowing they can hide and lurk under the leaves. The worms and woodlice are also more likely to tuck them selves away amongst the leaf litter rather than try to escape through the lid and the opacum have better access to food.

    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?
