Hello all, me again!
So upon doing more research, I am becoming more and more confused and scared on how to set up my tank for my Cynops Orientalis and Neurergus Crocatus.
Some people have found that they drowned in their water dishes after morphing??? How could this have happened? Are they that terribly bad at climbing out? How terrestial do their enclosures need to be? I'm thinking of doing a full moss set up for both of them and some shallow water at the bottom? (Until they become fully aquatic and i can set up their proper enclosures) But now I'm super scared about setting them up as I really don't want them to drown
I don't have many newts to play around with, I only have 1 Cynops Orientalis of around 3 months old, then 2 eggs of his kind.
2 Neurergus Crocatus larvae of around 1month + old.
I'm attaching a picture of the tank I would like to set up eventually for them but really when they're fully aquatic. I would like the top part where the wood is to be mossy and then they could swim all the way at the bottom and underneath
