Just curious where reptile/amphibian breeders get those cups that the animals are usually sold in. If you've ever been to a reptile show, you'll know what I'm talking about. They look like cheap plastic tupperware containers, round and clear. Almost like the kind you'd find hummus or dip in at the deli. They look cheaper than you're standard tupperware from the store. Anyone know where people get these? The containers look ideal for housing multiple small axies separately.

*facepalm* stupid question, nevermind. Simple google search did it. They are deli containers that can be ordered from restaurant supply stores. Sorry for the bother!

You can also use yogurt/sour cream50g/7 containers after they're thouroughly washed - you can cut the 650g ones down so they're not so tall :)

I use pretty much everything container-like I can find in the house that can hold water in it. Never had a complaining axie :)

I get mine from superiorshippingsupplies.com They have different grades and sizes of delicups. You can get them pre punched, without holes in the cups, lids with wire mesh, and lids with paper covered holes. The variety of sizes and easy storing works great for me.

    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?
