Just curious what captive species have any of you actually seen consume snails ie.. pond snails and if so any digestive issues. I've only seen it twice in a kaiseri and ribbed newt. Ive fed a few to axies by hand but the Kaiser and ribbed actually stalked and ate. Oh BTW,,Oui... Oui Monsieur!
 
Axolotls and T. verrucosus will eat them, I've seen that many times. Some people have had problems with snails causing blockages in Axolotls I think, but I've never had any issues.
 
I've never seen my three alpine newts eat snails, not even small ones. My snail population has exploded before in the past, so I know the snails were going unchecked. (Population now under control with more removal and more careful feeding.)

    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?
