I have set up my tank for my Axolotl, it’s been cycling and my Axolotl arrives the first week in January. I have been monitoring my tank temperatures and I am so confused on how to keep it from fluctuating so much.

During the day it’s anywhere from 67 degrees to 61.
Then at night it drops as low as 57.

I don’t have any fans on it.
That’s just my bedroom temperature and I have a ceiling fan which is on all the time.
I’m scared for when I get my axie that the huge fluctuations will cause it to get sick or stressed. :confused:
 
A night time drop in temp is fine. As long as the fluctuations stay on the cold side you will be fine.
 
Good to know! Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

    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
