Nice set up,but if you dont mind me saying these newts are mostly terrestrial and dont really require water in their pen unless you have a proven pair and intend to breed them.You can do away with the swimming area and have less work on your hands.Mandarin newts are my favorites but they are hard to come by around here,what was the price of them if you dont mind?

actually i found that isn't exactly correct.

like firebelly newts...some live in water...some are fully terrestrial refusing to go in water at all costs.

i seen have seen these live on land in petstores but online i seen them underwater and eating. youtube them

Sweet man, I have a firebelly right now, it's a shame haven't seen too many other people with newts

These newts are collected in mountain forrests under leaves and such.When I got into them years ago,I did my research on them,reading different books when youtube wasnt around,not that youtube is the place to go for accurate information.
