Hello, my little fire salamander juvenjle is 7 months old, i decided not to letit hibrenate this year, biut what if i don’t let it hibernate like ever? Will this affect its life in any way?
I herd that if you don t let it hibernate you are basically shortening its life, is it true?
 
Well it makes sense it will shorten its life. When they hibernate, all their systems slow down., they're essentially prolonging their aging process.
 
And, if you don’t mind, what exactly should be the temperature for hibernation? 0-5 degrees Celsius? Can it hibernate if the temperature is around 0-10 C?

    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?
