I have just (in the last couple of weeks) received 3 juvenile I. a. apuanus from Alan Cann. The animals are very nice and doing well. I have one question - the tank is mainly aquatic, with lots of plants and a cork-bark island. The two larger juveniles spend most of the time in the water, but the smallest one, which initially was as aquatic as the others, is now spending a lot of time on the island or stuck to the glass. I haven't seen it eat, but it is occasionally in the water and it was eating well before, so it may still be doing so. The newt's skin is slightly less aquatic-looking than before due to it being out of the water so much, but when it does go under water it is still largely hydrophilic.
How long should I leave it before I move it to a more terrestrial setup, or will it definitely go back into the water eventually?
