I had owned two Spanish ribbed newts who have unfortunately have passed since, so i got three crested german danube newts, changed up the tank and cleaned it out but only one thing stayed, which was a piece of bamboo. So today i caught my newts dancing around the bamboo. (if this bad please tell me.)
 
Apparently its them just dancing to attract a mate, courtship displays. Thats all I found on this.
 
How is it going now? What pets do you have?
It's going just barley but at least it still is... I lost one of my northern two lined salamanders I tried putting in a small Mason jar to put live blackworms in and they stay alive and contained longer than they would in a bottle cap but the other morning I found the largest of the 2 salamanders I had floating and dead in the jar and it looked like more water from the drip wall enclosure filled up the jar and I have assumptions that maybe it was gravid and carrying eggs and that made it difficult to get out of jar. They both have gone in and out of the jar a number of times until the last one. Very sad and unfortunate and I couldn't find it's partner for the longest time until I saw him swimming in the water section so I think they were mature enough for the partial water setup but I guess it's all part of the hobby and living and learning. Hopefully I can find him another partner in the future but rn still sad and mad at myself for making such a costly mistake...apologies for such a dark sad story but feels better to tell someone...how are you and your animals?
