Does anyone have a water level recommendations for a Cynops orientalis? Mine is currently about 4 1/2 inches but i want to raise it so that the newts aren't always on land. I have a huge piece of driftwood which already sticks out of the water about 4 inches so if i do raise the water there will be some land for them to rest on.
thanks,

I have seen them in fully aquatic tanks but mine is at about 6 inches...Dont make the bottom Even Though have rocks and caves so It has a varied Depth.
 
i have lots of gravel on the bottom (about 3 inches of it) so there are a lot of dips plus i have lots of rocks and caves, do they really need a place to rest above water?
 
I keep mine in 11 inches of water and have a floating cork bark island which they rarely use. You should provide them with a land area but in my experience it does not have to be extensive.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
