What is the procedure for housing these guys? What's the % water:land for them?

Thanks,

They only need a very small amount of water. A small dish is enough. I don't know about the breeding season, though..
 
I use a 50:50 setup. Mine use the water frequently.
 
I have always found the adults to be quite aquatic, although they do spend much of their time on land as well. When I first got my group around four years ago, I kept them in terrestrial quarantine enclosures for months. After I moved them to a larger, roughly 50/50 shoreline vivarium I noticed an almost immediate difference in their behavior. At that point they were much more active, really "coming alive".

    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?
