I’ve been researching axolotl for about 4-5 months now and I’m confident I know a lot about the care they need.
The question I have is on cycling the tank, I get how it all works.
But I was wondering is it better to ask a local pet shop to keep a filter in a tank for you, or start the cycle your self.
I’ve talked to different axolotl breeders and have had a lot of different feed back.

Also I saw someone use a bath mat in there axolotl tank and hadn’t thought of this, it seems like a really good idea.
As long as I get one without holes and clean it it should be safe for an axolotl.

I also saw something on here about moss balls and wanted to know what people thoughts on them where. I probably won’t end up getting one but wanted to know if they are helpful.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
