I'm thinking about getting a newt or salamander in the near future, and I was wondering if you could point me out to some species that stay smallish and can live happily in the mid-to-high 70's? My mom's house gets into the upper 60's to low 70's in the cooler months and gradually climbs up to the high 70's in the summer. I just want to make sure I get a newt/salamander that can handle that range of temps. Any help would be great!

Cynops pyrrhogaster, C.ensicauda, Hypselotriton cyanurus, Tylototriton verrucosus and Pleurodeles waltl. All capable of tolerating the higher part of that spectrum and even some more. Also all frequently captive bred and available directly from breeders.

    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?
