My wife recently got me some choice cork bark *(on e-Bay) for my t. kar., but I want to know how to treat it properly to make it safe for the tank. Any advice?
 
I boil it. Make up a big pot of boiling water and use tongs to hold it under the water for half a minute or so. If the piece is too large for the pot, you can boil each end separately. If you want to be fanatical, scrub with a clean brush after you boil it, then boil again. Or you can soak it overnight before you boil it.
 
Sounds easy enough. Thanks!
 
what i do is nuke my bark in the microwave this kills bacteria dead j slate

    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?
