Hey what is everyone's experience with temperature on keeping Tylototriton shanjing? I'm just asking because I will be getting two of these little guys at the end of this month and am just curious with what temperature range works best for different times of the year from keepers experiences.

From my own experience, I would say that mid-60s in winter to upper-70s in summer works fine. Since this is what most people have in their house, this is fairly easy to provide. Some folks claim that they are quite OK up to temps in the 80s, but I wouldn't really recommend this. They like to be kept somewhat humid.

    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?
