Hi.
I was thinking of either a zoomed repti fogger or a monsoo rain system for my fire salamanders, as work I away a bit. I have no problems with them being fed by some one but just want make sure there humid enough.
What do people think is the best one to buy?

Some people think the ultrasonic vibrations of a fogger can be irritating to salamanders.

I agree with Kaysie

Use an automatic mister or a simple drip system that splashes onto a plant or bark to disperse moisture

Constant high levels of humidity can be a serious problem for this species, particularly if ventilation is inadequate.
You´d be better off offering a moisture retaining substrate that is deep enough to borrow in. Covered with moss and leaf-litter it should keep for long periods between mistings. Half buried bricks are very useful.

    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?
