Hi folks,
i have kept my trio Tylototriton verrucosus in aquatic setup for coming to 1 year. all looks good except i need to change water frequently. they have a mid sized zoomed floating dock as land area. i notice they spend much time on land as in water 50-50%
may i ask if anyone here keeps them terrestrial with a large water dish?
i find terrestrial setups are much more easier to maintain.than aquatic
i also read from link below they are actually terrestrial in nature

Habitat, ethology and ecology
T. verrucosus is found from 1,350 to 2,000 m a.s.l. near streams and ponds in dense primary and secondary forests and open areas. In China, some populations were found at 950 - 1,800 meters in dense primary and secondary forests and open areas near human habitations (pers. obs.). Adults are terrestrial to semi-fossorial, sheltering under rocks or logs and within leaf litter for most of the year.
whats your thoughts?
thanks
