I'm in the Northeast USA where summers are not too bad but winters are pretty severe. The frostline is about 4' in my area and the soil is quite difficult to dig. I'd like to keep some salamanders outside but most of the outdoor info I can find is either vague or from areas where the temps rarely drop below freezing.


Since I cannot dig below the frostline, my idea was to use a coldframe to lessen the degree of freezing. Does anyone know if this will be effective or have other ideas?

    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?
