Tylotriton Verrucosus Temperatures

[Maguire]

T.verrucosus questions.

I have read mixed information concerning using heaters with T.verrucosus. Should a small heater be provided or left to room temperature. I use a little heater and wonder what other keepers use?

Is it better to provide newts with a naturalistic enclosure or a artificial enclosure that still meets their requirements? If you get my meaning.
I use bog wood and plants and rock hides.
Is this suitable?

Hi Maguire

If you are keeping them indoors in the UK, room temperature will be fine from my experience.

These guys are near enough fully aquatic, fill your tank to the top and put plenty of live plants in there. Perhaps use a floating plant so they can come up for air easier.

Hope this helps.
