Toothless and Salaman certainly seem to get along well! Maybe they might even mate. Not entirely sure why they are choosing to sit above ground right now, but it made for a good picture!
I also got a new little tiger today! The pet store had him in a fully aquatic set up, but shortly after moving him to his new home, he took his first steps out of the water and has become quite content sitting in a plastic log. I have yet to decide on a name for him, and I plan to keep him quarantined for a week or two to make sure he doesn’t have anything that could spread to the other salamanders.

    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?
