Hey all,

I'm expecting to receive some T. Dobrogicus tomorrow, and I'm unsure what the best way to acclimate them to their new tank is. I've only been able to find information about transferring newts from a bag of water to a tank, but these will be arriving in a styrofoam cooler.

The tank is 70-80% water with a fairly moist haul out. The water is room temperature and stays pretty consistently at 70 degrees. Should I put a little bit of water in the cooler, or just plop them on the land area and let them get in at their own pace?

Thank you!

    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?
