Default Shanjing set up.

I received some T.shanjing from Uwe towards the end of last year. I keep them on peat free muti purpose compost, 50-50 with coco fibre. Water dish and moss at the damp end with a cork bark stack that has damp and drier areas. I keep them in a realy useful tub that is 800mm long, i use these for most of my newts as the length helps to keep one end drier than the other. Plenty of ventilation is cut into the lid and covered with gauze. They are eating lesser waxworms, small earthworms, live bloodworm and 1st crickets dusted with nutrabol. They are kept at room temperature and are growing well.
