You might be asking “what is this?”. So basically I’ve been thinking of cooling my Vivarium by placing an ice pack or a frozen water bottle on top of the enclosure so that the air around it stays cool. I also covered the Icepack with a plastic container so that the cold air is going into the tank. My question is does the container really improve anything? Is there a more efficient way to do this? Also the fan isn’t used in case you are wondering because I heard that it can dry amphibian skin. I also spray the tank with a fridged bottle for even cooler temperatures.

    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?
