I just lifted up the moss when cleaning out my newt cage, and found tons of ants and eggs. I cleaned the cage out, getting most of the ants, but some clung to the moss and I couldnt get them out, hoping that the newts would finish em off. I know the ants were a great food source, but not good in the house... and they bit me a few times while I was cleaning. Anyone think they'll come back? (I was wondering how the newts were staying so fat while refusing to eat. Turns out they had a buffet under the moss) Also, is it ok that I soaked the moss in Spring Water to get rid of the tap-water in it?

    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?
