Hi everyone

I am new to the forum and also new to the world of keeping terrestrial salamanders (my axie is 10 years old and going strong) - I would really love to set up a bio active viv for a pair of fire salamanders however I'm really not sure of what lamp would be suitable to support the growth of live plants but also conscious that nearly everything I read suggests keeping the tank at fairly low temperatures?

Any advice on good bulbs to use / plant species that work welll with the bulbs would
Be really appreciated.

Thank you!
Joe

    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?
