WOW. WOW!!! I love it, and that 2nd picture could win a photo award, beautiful!
 
i wish i could get my fire salamander tank to look that nice does yours swim i read they could not
 
Hello Charles,

one of my obsessions is to collect stones;-))
So for to fix that setup i needed just some hours,and a visit in a Gardencenter to pick up some ferns.
All the other stuff i took out of the wood near by my house.
This setup rules now for a couple of years.

@Chris: I saw my Salamandra swimming.

greetings Ingo

Coooooool!!!! Very very nice. I like that vivarium!
 
I was under the impression that Salamandra can easily drown in the shallowest of water, especially S.s.terrestris.
 
I've read that too, but my terrestris like to bath and regularly 'swim' in the large water dish I have. I think it'd take one angry tail flick to get across that pool. There seem to be plenty of stones to get out.

You've got a natural born swimmer.
 
nice viv!!! makes my terrestris viv look like a shanty. i wish my s.s. terrestris had such a setup!!

no-one else has ask but how is the aqua part mantained??? filters, pumps stones, water changes??
 
Hello,

for the water pond i don`t use a filter.
The shore i built with sandstones.
Here is a pic that can explaine it better:

that tank does look pretty good and pretty clean considering the fact that you don't use a filter.....

nice work....
 
Beautiful!

I like your background - it looks like you painted the design on the back glass on the outside. Is that correct?

I did that on a couple of my betta tanks a few years ago

Man u guys really out do urselves on these tanks...these pictures r tempting me to fix up my aquariums but whenever i consider doing it i think that it will be difficult to clean and if i use sillicon for sumtin i feel i wont be able to use it for anything else....argggg
 
One of the most beautiful tank for caudata I ever saw!!! Very very very beautiful! Congratulations! The salamandra is very beautiful too!!!
 
Hello,

in that tank i keep 2,2 Salamandra salamandra terrestris together with 2,2 Bombina orientalis.

Yes, the background is glass painted.

Greetings Ingo V.
 
Your Salamandra and Bombina get all that they need. Congratulation

    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.
