Are there any keepers of Batrachuperus species?

as nobody is answering, I will give some information about my keeping attempt:

some years ago I got B. tibetanus and B. pinchoni, 2,2 each.
They were kept separated by species in aquaria and in a Ikea box in basement, temp range 2-20°C, usually around 12°C. artificial light in winter 8h, in summer 10h.
water depth 15cm, a lot of stones and a pump for medium strong current. The pair in the Ikea box did well with some hiding places formed by parts of plant pots, had no pump or filter and water change I did every 4 days.
They ate on earth worms, small live crustaceans (Gammarus and Asellus aquaticus).

I had a loss due to a parasitic worm from the Neocapillaridae group (Exomed Berlin found it out during dissection) and I treated of the others with Levamisol. no further problems.
The animals were aggressive during feeding only.


When I moved I gave them away, but kept them for more than a year.

    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
