I got some natural clay like for pottery and I'm wondering if I could make a hide for my tiger sal with it? Would it be toxic or would it be better to put a glaze on it?

If you have access to a ceramics kiln to fire it properly, it will be fine. The chemical structure changes so it won't dissolve. Glaze optional. Do not use air-dry or oven-baked clay types. I made clay basking rocks in the past and they worked great; I used a watered down satin glaze to give the lizard's feet some purchase.

    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?
