Axolotls heat stress

[ember20]

Hi everyone,
I have been doing abit of research into keeping axolotls and am hoping to get some in the next few months
But I just have one concern at the moment...heat stress.
I have read that axolotls are uncomfortale being kept at temperatures consistently over 25C and just wondered if many axolotl keepers out there find this a major problem. As the summers where I am can be reasonably warm (midlands UK) and ofcourse wouldnt want any future pets to be unhappy.
Thanks in advance

Yes it can be a problem I found that I was unable to keep my five Axolotls inside last summer and found that the coolest place for them was the side of the house away from any sunshine.
They are very tough little chaps and do not mind the cold winters though I put my tank inside my shed for the winter as the house was too hot. They are certainly more a creature of cold water.

British summers? As an Aussie, a really big fan directed onto the tank (And if you aim it at yourself, you get a two-for-one deal), and put a waterbottle in to initially drop the temp. Be warned, water bottles will last approx 45 minutes, so they can cause your temperature to yo-yo if you're not around/able to pull off changes every 1/2 hour!
