Hello everyone my names sean, I am 21 years old and I live in nth Qld, Australia. I enjoy camping, fishing, my good old dirt bikes and having a wicked mix. (dj to people who dont know what mixing is) :) I work as a refrigeration and air-conditioning mechanic. Guess you can say like owner like pet, i like my temperatures cold :rofl:. I am the proud owner of a gorgeous female golden-albino axolotl named taco who is currently 12 months old.

I have a 80 litre corner tank with a sufficient filter. I currently have 1 inch garden rocks (will be changed very shortly to a kind of sand) and a full covered reptile cave for her to hide in. It does not have a lid on the tank, do you guys recommend a lid/cover? she has a few plants and some nice pieces of wood. For keeping her tank nice and cool (up north here temperatures reach up to 34 degrees celcius) i actually found a heater up here that can keep your temperature at a set point of 17 degrees!!! i know, i couldnt believe it either it helps sooo much especially over summer. :happy:

Well thats all i can really think of at the moment. Thanks for the time guys. If you have any questions just ask :happy:

I would just like to add, i had posted on this site before i made an introduction post and i want to point out how very helpful everyone has been and the answers that were given to me were very informative. I have recommended this site to a few friends who are also axolotl owners and my sister who is a reptile enthusiast. Keep up the GREAT work guys.:D

    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?
