Salaman spend most of her time above ground so I thought it was odd that she dug down! Later I realized that it was because she was shedding! She then proceeded to eat the shed skin, which at first I thought was dirt. She actually dug a window which I thought was cool, to be able to see into her den.

Aww she is adorable! I love the little window she made! That's so interesting, I didn't realize that tiger salamanders shed!
 
Yep! At least I think they do? Toothless shed when he was underwater, but I haven’t seen him really shed on land. It’s also possible that Salaman was just eating dirt

    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?
