Looks good to me but they call them mole salamanders for a reason so I think your substrate isn't deep enough - add more substrate to at least one end enough for it to burrow in. If you dont wanna fill up the whole tank just build it up on the end the water dish is on and make it slope down to the water and it'll look real nice. You make one end of the log stick out of the slope so its kind of underground and has a burrow.... besides that looks just fine and be sure to change the water dish every other day that can be more often or less depending on how much its used and how dirty it gets. I hope this helps
I concur with Tristan, I keep mine in at least 6 inches of substrate. Usually I section off an inch or two at the bottom with some plastic egg crate and screen to create drainage and a humidity reservoir below the substrate.
my plan is to give him more dirt
i just changed the dirt in his cage and the petstore ran out of dirt
so i am going to get him some more dirt and i will do what you said cause that is a great idea with the log thank you
when i took this picture i had just gotten him that day
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?
