Hi, so me and my family are on vacation and my dad checked our home thermostat this morning and it said 53. We left our pets at home with our vet neighbor, but I’m a little worried about my axolotl. Will she be okay? My dad turned it up and it’s climbing, but she will be okay right? We are headed home in 2 days. I’m not sure how long it was.

it wont hurt her. theyre cold water animals anyway. at most, her metabolism my slow a little, but if they can handle being put in the refrigerator, a slight drop in tank temp wont be that big of a deal.

    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
