C. orientalis scared of water?

[erik]

i recently obtained 5 cynops oreintalis, most of them love the water but two just wont touch it? and when i set them in it they just go back up onto land is there anything wrong?

Nothing is wrong, just give them time to adjust to their new surroundings. It just takes time, and as long as they can stay close to the water and moist, dont worry.

Each one will go back to the water when they feel they are ready.

This is quite common. Be sure that the ones on land are eating, that's the only problem with them staying on land.
