Tylototriton cf. Kweichowensis update!!!

Awesome! Great idea on weighing them and stuff. I would love to have this species, too bad i don't have room :/ Keep us updated, and keep the pics coming, i love seeing them! :D -Seth
 
As much as I would love to seth, I cannot take pictures. I am trying to disturb them as little as possible. The only times I have gone near their tank is to feed them and moisten the soil. Best of luck to you too Neil :D
 
Great looking specimens!
Those individuals actually are T. yangi, not T. kweichowensis. They are more terrestrial than T. kweichowensis, so I would suggest increase the land portion and offer more live plants and hiding spots. I have 5 T. yangi and I keep them in terrestrial setting with only a water bowl, which they seldomly use.
Here are a pict of my tank that took recently.

The tank was made one year ago, and mosses and plants were growing naturally since then. I moist the tank twice a day and feed the newts once every 3 days with crickets and worms.

Ok, that is totally fine. Its really neat what your doing, keep us updated! :D

Nice setup Asianherps! But with all those plants, I don't know how you ever see your newts! :p

That's true~lol They only come out from hiding spots at night. But that reflects most of their natural behaviors.

When I made the thread they were still called tylototriton cf. kweichowensis. I began calling them yangi as soon as I heard them name :) I have created a new thread with the proper name now so it is more accurate.
