Interesting thread over on dendroboard. Black Jungle (dendroboard username dartfrogs) have kept marbled newts for years in a dart frog terrarium. I've seen said newts and they are fat and healthy. Having said that, I could never condone them telling others it's fine to keep temperate newts in a dartfrog terrarium. Feel free to weigh in over here:

Update on my frogs! - Dendroboard

By the way, if you ever wondered where Ed Kowalski disappeared to so many years ago, he's "Ed" in that thread on dendroboard.
 
you see,

I know a guy who drives around with his pet reindeer in the back of his pickup truck. Seriously. So far, so good.
 
yeaa when i went to the reptile expo im whiteplains NY they said that they go great with marbled newts.I didnt say anything and just went on and bought the marbled newts.
 
Good to see a couple of those guys questioning the logic of such a mix.
 
I guess, the lower temps for dartfrogs could plausibly be tolerated by T.marmoratus, but i´d be amazed if they bred at all.
I sure hope people aren´t going to start making that mix...it can so easily work badly...

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
