Although this is not the ideal setup, this is the best I could do at this time. I have found an old fashioned 50g tank (at the Goodwill Store) which I will be refurbishing for their new home. First pic shows closeup, but second pic, although redundant, shows that it is nothing more than a Sterilite tub from Wal-Mart. And then one of the inhabitants, an A.gracile just finishing dinner.

Plants are a mixture of Home Depot specials, and indigenous stuff. Under the moss are black PVC pipe for their burrows, and a coconut house. The water dish is rather deep, so a bridge has been included for their convenience. (They occasionally take dips, and like to hide under it.)

Yes, for all you worry-warts, I do have a nice screened lid for the setup! http://www.caudata.org/forum/clipart/happy.gif

Hi Everyone!

Glad you all liked the home. The sals seem happy (I hope.)

Feet - those are "Newt Lover Feet". http://www.caudata.org/forum/clipart/happy.gif
