0.0.4 Triturus marmoratus, fully aquatic, a little over one year old. Will get more pictures when they're a little less shy and used to their new environment.
I may end up putting a thin layer of sand in the feeding area, they seem scared that it has no substrate or that theres no plant, idk, they don't seem to enjoy walking on it either, waking like they're running into the walls whenever they're in that area, if anyone has suggestions lol
They look lovely and healthy. I always thought they were the most terrestrially inclined species of Triturus? Will you try to keep them aquatic?
The guy who sold me them kept them fully aquatic and thats how I prefer it, which is a reason why I didn't wait and get morphs in the spring, but if they really did wanna go terrestrial, I can't really stop them, but in the 48 hours that I have had them, they haven't exited the water, and only at night, sticking their heads out of the water and resting on higher plants.They look lovely and healthy.

I'd really appreciate if you'd share how you did your land area. It looks like a DIY turtle rock..is it?
Anyhow it looks really good and natural, without wasting water space.
I actually just bought it at a petstore lol I think its made by ZooMed
Yep, deff ZooMed. I have a couple of those that are covered in moss. I like them better than cork because they take up much less space above the water line meaning I can get more water in the tank.
Did they stay in the water in the end?
