i have 2 axolotls that have recently been moved to a four foot tank and so their old two foot tank is empty and i really want to use it as a terrarium. I cannot decide between newts or salamanders, but am swaying more towards a salamander every day.
terrarium needs to be fairly light(ish) so preferably a species that doesnt need more than an inch or two of water (or just a dish).
I really like the look of Tiger salamanders and fire salamanders, but have read that they grow quite large. (how quickly do they grow?)
Any ideas on a smaller species or perhaps an unusual newt....? (and if possible a good place to buy them?!)

Geo and IanR, please use the PM system.

A single tiger or fire sal could live happily in a tank that size. Raising some terrestrial juveniles is another option that will let you watch them grow.
