Hi all,

I am trying to find out some info on housing a pair of salamandra salamandra gigliolii, I have an exo 90x45x45, bio active set up with an average humidity of around 70%, soil is damp but i never hold water in my drainage layer, I do however have regular condensation show on the drainage layer, I have had the set up for 4 weeks and the plants are doing well,
Is there anything I need to watch out for with this subspecies? I have read a few threads about them preferring drier conditions?

Any help is appreciated

I have attached an image of the set
Up ! - have just misted.

Thanks
Joe

The set up looks good. One thing about salamandra is that if they're small, then it would be easier to rear them on paper towel with moss rather than an elaborate set up. I do this because 1) I can control all the factors such as humidity, temperature for the animal. 2) I can make sure that the animal is eating. 3) Also make sure that its not crushed somewhere in the set up [you'll be amaze how often shit fall and kill em]

    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?
