Hey there,
Firstly, I ought to point out that I've read the caresheets, aswell as the setup artictles on caudata culture. As one of the species I'm looking into, I'd looked into T.torosa's housing requirements. I'm quite uncertain as to what the most appropriate setup is, given that some articles suggest terristrial, whilst other sources even suggest keeping them totally aquatic. I understand that torosa can require an absorbent substrate if kept terrestrial, as outlined in the cc article; other than that, is there any other specific requirement? Will additions such as dried leaves, moss, bark be appropriate?
Apologies if I've overlooked anything; I've looked at quite a few sources now and feel I may be mixing them up as I type...
I'm just looking for annecdotal evidence really; and what people find works best.
