Hi all,
From the beginning until now I kept my newts and Salamanders on Earth with Moss, Bark, Rocks,... But now I'm changing all my setups to "the foam-system". First time I've seen this in Austria - now I tried it for my Salamanders and I have to admit - it is not the prettiest way of keeping my animals - but it seems to me as the easiest and most clean one. The "soil" is made of 3 - 5 cm foam. The hiding-places are made from foam-pieces. If it gets too dirty you can wash it in the shower or put it in the laundry (use water only - no chemicals!). I have recognized, that this is a popular way to keep Salamandra. I will also do this for my Triturus when they'll leave water.
Best Greetings,
Kamil
