This fall I plan on moving them inside into a dedicated wine fridge. ( don't worry, it has vents ) What temp should I keep them at? The fridge has a temp rang of 41-54 Fahrenheit. I just don't want to keep them outside, we get deep freezes every once in a while, i'm located in Oregon,USA
 
How are they currently being housed.....and why do you feel the need to refrigerate?
 
They are currently in a 10 gallon aquarium out side with soil moss and pieces of wood. I thought that if I refrigerate them they would at least be able to feel some sort of winter, but if I leave them outside I know they'll freeze
 
You are right to bring them in, however there is no need to refrigerate. Place them in a cooler area of your home, somewhere where the temperature doesn't exceed the low 70sF.

    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?
