T. karelinii update

A pic of their growth (aquatic on the top, terrestrial on the bottom)

The two aquatics are a solid 7.5 cm, while the terrestrial and semi-terrestrial ones are only 6.5 cm.

The latest version of their setup. Water is approximately 13cm deep, with a platform (which is level with water) covered in rocks, and a upended flower pot, also level with water, also with rocks. Both having plants which hang over.

PS: the tank is seriously not as dirty as it looks. Next time I'll clean BEFORE taking the pics

very cool, you can really see the difference between the tails

Wauw, techno newts! I just see a new way of re- using my old lego stones I used to play with as a child! You see, it is not what you use but how they use it what defines your set up...

 

[kaysie]

Colin, there's a previous thread with some really nice pics of their tails in this section. Go look for it

Serge, this came about because I cant afford all that 'fancy' store-bought stuff like the floating docks and caves and such. So I had to be innovative and make due with what I have. This is free and its versatile. And it works really well.

Kaysie or Jen,
About how old are these guys? When did they hatch?

Kaysie's karelinii were hatched in spring of this year. Unfortunately, I don't have it exactly, but probably some time between March and May.
