Hi, so I was watching my tiger and he was acting differently, very rigid movements and then going floppy and not moving.
Turns out he was shedding!
I had not seen before so it was good to see, he hasn't eaten the skin so should I remove it or keep it in there?
Thanks.

Remove it. If it didn't get eaten fresh off the tail, they won't come back for it.

    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?
