Hi all,

I'm just posting to see if there are any other H.tokyoensis keepers out there to share information with?

Anyway, would be great to talk to some keepers that currently or have kept this species before so comment away or give me a PM :)

Look forward to hearing from you,

Seeing this post made me look these guys up, so I don't keep or know much about them. The way they keep their eggs looks very cool though.

Off topic: I saw some pictures posted by "MantellaMan" on reptile forums, would that happen to be you?

I have a pair (I hope) of Hynobius tokyoensis that I hope are nearly old enough to breed. I have had them 4 or 5 years and they have grown quite a bit since I got them although they are still quite small. I need information on conditions needed to encourage breeding.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
