Hey, i was just wandering what kind of temperature rise would have to occur to SERIOUSLY endanger a newt salamander or axie?

i.e for an axie 25 wont seriously hurt him but 35 is potentially fatal?

All replies appreciated :D
 
Anything above 25ºC, is potentially dangerous for most caudtes. some species tolerate even lesser temperatures. Above 27-28ºC you´re seriously in trouble.....
 
For most caudates (including axolotls), I'd say 25c is the maximum threshold (as in, warning bells should be going off and you should be taking drastic efforts to lower it). I'd say 30c would be fatal after a few hours for most species, and 35c would be fatal immediately in almost all cases.

    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?
