I'm wondering if salamanders have decent eyesight? My Tiger seems to have a hard time hitting his food and most the time i have to hand feed him, even then he usually ends up attached to my hand instead of the worm.
 
I came across this old topic while looking for the same answer. My newts love the worms I feed them with my tweezers, but when I drop one in the tank right in front of them it looks like they can't find them, they seem to be looking for them but are just too 'blind' to see them.
Is this normal and does that mean I can only feed them worms with my tweezers?

I've put in some brine shrimp a few days ago, and they seem to have found and eaten those though...

    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?
