So today I got some red wigglers.They were the perfect size for my 4 inch kaiseri.So I remembred reading a article in Reptiles magazine about Tiger salamanders that John Clare wrote.He wrote a article about the care of tiger salamanders.I remember him saying that when you have a burrowing caudate or a caudate that hides and is shy(such as a tiger salamander) your suppose to tap the glass before you drop the food in the tank so then they learn that the taping of the glass is associated with food.And that's what I did today before I put the red wigglers in front of the entrance(someone in caudata told me this).And they ate 3 red wigglers!Seen them eat for the fisrt time!

    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?
