As the topic says. So I have a pair of this wonderful species and they are currently maintained in an aquatic, heavily planted setup. The current water temp is 59 F. That all being said, I have done plenty of research on them and yet I seem to be missing something specific things that I would hope someone could answer for me.

I've done some sifting through the forums and have read the Caudata culture entry over and over. If I am to breed them, am I able to to keep them maintained aquatically all year round or do they need a terrestrial phase? Both newts are very active and I'm feeding them quite often.
 
No they don't need a terrestrial phase.their captive requirement is the same as triturus cristatus.

    Hello. I just noticed two notches, white small bubbles on the hind legs of one of my male newts.

    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
