Update: he's speeding up his morph a little bit, it seems whenever I clean his water he takes a pause, I don't l know. But he can stay on Than for more than an hour I don't know exact since I had I go to school but at least an hour for sure, from what under he has no gills left and that's just the shape of his head right now but the holes or whatever under the gills to tr mouth are still there I think, just they're smaller than before and no frilly things anywhere I can see, when he's on land there's like less than a centimeter of fin there but it just flaps down when he's out and some times flaps when he's in the water. He usually comes up out of the water when it's dark or I cover his cage when I'm at school. STill eats regularly. Water level is a tiny bit above his back but his back usually is always out of water cuz he's always in the shallower part or out of the water entirely. Any idea on when he'll be out of theater and put into the terrarium with a bowl of aged tap water(no chloromine)? Any suggestions would also be appreciated!

It seems my phone won't upload the pics correctly ill post them here soon. Although one of six uploaded

He been on the land for more than 3 hours now o:

 

[Asevernnnn]

He has been on the land for 6 or more hours now o: I'm guessing his morph is almost done?

 

[Asevernnnn]

He was up overnight. I checked, he's alive so he's been up for,... 18 hours o:

 

[Asevernnnn]

He was up for 24 hours, and took a quick dip and went back on. I really don't see whats the harm in putting him in a moist terrarium, but you guys are the experts I guess haha. Because, I don't think he has eyelids yet(or ive never seen him blink) has a flap on his tail still(little one) and Still has slits behind his head(just looks like bumps on the end of his head now no frilly gills or anything can I cant really tell if theres still a section that goes in his head, doesn't seem like he uses them.. if hes been out of water for a day)

The tank he will be eventually moved into..

I think you should actually be proud that he's taking so long to morph: that means his environment is excellent and he feels no rush to hurry and get to a better one. In the wild, they morph quickly because their ponds dry up and they have to get onto land before they dry up.

If he's still got bumps and a gill opening, there's no harm in keeping him in the semi-aquatic setup still. Once he starts choosing land all the time, you can move him to your new setup. Make sure your coco fiber is moist all the way through. By the looks, it's really dry.

Its dry because its un-used. i'll get it moist all the way through if a few minutes.. and hes been on land for a few days. and has taken one brief dip. His gills still look like the one in the picture above just a bit smaller and theyre sticking to the side of his head all the time.

 

[Asevernnnn]

How should i wet the entire substrate, because i have 4-5 inches in some places and can only get the first inch and a half wet by spraying.. should i just like dump some water, but i dont want to ruin the substrate.

 

[Kaysie]

You can't ruin coco fiber. Dump in a couple cups of dechlorinated water, let it stand an hour, mix it up well from top to bottom.

Okay, thanks. Like I said hes been out of water for a 2-3 days and took one brief dip, so hopefully he can go to his terrestrial setup soon

 

[Asevernnnn]

Okay, that took like 10 little bottles of dechlorinated water to get the soil moist everywhere. the last half inch is still somewhat dry, is that okay? But in the bottom tunnel i made(covering the front to keep dark) is moist too. just the last half inch on the ground behind the tunnel(its around 5 inches all together). sorry if this doesnt make sense to you xD. Yeah, hes still on the land portion. so its been around 2-3 days hes been on land.. current description of him in an earlier post above this c:
Thanks for all your help!

~Terrarium Finished c: I added fake plants and another hide... Thoughts?? On the left side its all one height, about 4 inches. then theres just a little hole like think going down to the cup tunnel thing. the entrance/exit of the cups arent the same on both sides the right side is just flat and a slope going up to the higher part. So any thoughts? I personally like it, but thats just me..

~And on the metamorphosis note, Hes been out for a few days with just a brief dip yesterday. His nubs dont have any frills or anything, theyre rounded, a little smaller than the pictures above. I dont think he has eyelids yet, or ive never seen him blink.. Someone told me he would be fine on a moist terrarium, but i dont wanna take my chances without other peoples opinions.

How do I feed the Wax worms? Do I have to decapitate them? Theyre not even an inch long.
