I just purchased a Neurergus Crocatus baby from a reptile show today and had a few questions:
1) What's the ideal temperature range that the water should stay in? If it's too hot, what are some ways to cool them down?
2) I've been reading that newts have a terrestrial stage (juvenile). When would this be (how many months/years from being hatched) and how can I go about making the tank terrestrial? Additionally, what should the care be during that time? Is it crucial for them to have only access to land during this stage?
3) The breeder says he's been breeding newts for over a decade and was the one who first imported N. Crocatus into the states back in 2012. He says he's been using pellets forever and have had no problems. With that being said is there one that's highly regarded? Is it important for them to have live food? What are some recommendations for foods besides the pellets?
4) What's the best water changing schedule with a simple sponge filter in like a 7 gallon tank for one newt?
Thanks a lot.
