So I decided to check on Theo's hides for hidden gems (read: ****), and I didn't want to disturb the whole tank by lifting up the hides. Shining a light into them should be enough. Instead of using a flashlight or penlight, as it might be too glaring for my Axie's eyes, I decided on using this laser pointer with the red light.

More out of curiosity than anything else, I decided to shine the light onto Theo himself to see if he could discern it. Don't worry, I didn't shine it directly on his eyes, just in case. I shone it on his torso and under his chin. He seemed absolutely oblivious to it though. What do you think?

(Also, he looked amazing in red light.)

    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?
