Juvenile T. verrucosus

Hi, I got a problem about the setup for my T.v Juveniles after they finish metamorphosis. Is it possible entertain the Juveniles in aquatic setup ??? and how often i need to feed my little creatures ??? Thank You!

There appear to be several different "varieties" or possibly species/subspecies of T. verrucosus. They behave differently. Some will remain aquatic after metamorphosis.

I am raising some "light" colored form of verrucosus. They will not stay in water until several months after metamorphosis. I keep them in a semiaquatic tank, but most of them stay on the islands.

Hi Jennifer, nice to meet you!

How to ID the T.verrucosus is "light" or "Dark" colored form ??? Is that the picture showed as the following link which is the light form of verrucosus???

John's is "the" dark form and Ralf's is a lighter form(I believe..). I don't think anything has been published defining the "forms".

Yes the different "forms" are just speculation. You will have to try different setups and see how your animals behave.
