I see you have an overhanging rim, does that stop further progress? I have my air hose passing through a strip of plexiglass drilled to just allow the tubing through.

Tim: seeing this rim brings up a question.
can larger newts climb upside down? Nate claims Eurycea will do so with ease...not to sure for the more bulky caudates.

Eurycea and some of the other thin bodied Plethodotids can easily climb upside down however other species cannot maintain the surface adhesion to climb upside down.
I have not had any of the larger species successfully scale upside down.

Hi guys. In fact, there is a acryl top with punched holes in it that I'm using for that quarantine tank. Since the top is light-weight and not size-tailored for the tank, the tape is there as a safeguard. I removed the top to get a clear shot
I have had mid-sized Cynops pyrrhogaster (not the larger ones) escape from tape- or acryl-rimmed tanks before to my great dismay, though I haven't experienced this with C.ensicauda. I could easily see it happen with C.orientalis.

How far can they go upside down? Do you s'pose they could climb upsidedown on wire screening?
