Natural habitat for P. labiatus

Guest
I just acquired a paddle tailed newt (labiatus) a week ago, and have been keeping him in a well filtered 10 gallon aquarium with live plants and a log to hide under. I'm planning on moving him up to a 20 long, and was wondering what kind of set-up would be most like his wild habitat (temperature, substrate, seasonal conditions, etc).
My goal is to attempt to breed him sometime in the future (pending finding a suitable mate), so if anyone has any breeding advice/insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!!

    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?
