It's been about a month since I adopted my axolotl and so far temperature hasn't been an issue, but these areas during autumn and winter have weather going nuts and ranging from 18°C (64°F) to 10°C (50°F), the lowest being 1°C (33°F) last year.

I have tried looking for other threads but I just find how to cool their tank, not keep it at the proper range in case it's too cold.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
 
I wouldn't worry with down to 50F. For anything lower I would consider an aquarium heater. I've kept them down to about 35F. At real cold temps they slow down a lot and don't eat much.

    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.
