Hello, due to some life circumstances I need to take down my alpine newt aquarium for about a year, would it be safe to keep them in like a wine cooler for about a year. I would think they would do okay in some moist sphagnum moss yeah? Im just wondering if they have any trouble eating on land. Any help is appreciated.
 
Mine have always been very aquatic & have never eaten out of the water.
 
I wouldn't. Mine have always been fully aquatic even though they always have the opportunity to access logs. In about 6-7 years, I've only seen one haul out onto a log for a few minutes one or two times.

    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?
