Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum and was actually somewhat surprised to see a forum specifically for newts. Anyways I've been researching for the past couple months on taking care of newts and I feel I can move onto the next step. Thats setting up my tank. I have a 15 gallon tank I will be setting up with mostly water and a land area for the newts to swim up on. I have used the store bought moss in the past for my toads I have (will not be in the same tank) but the moss turns brown quite quickly and I would like this setup to be nicer. I found some live moss in the back of my house in the woods and thought it would be perfect. I have not started putting together the setup yet but I just wanted to know if I should take any precautions with the moss (parasites, mold, anything like that). Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!
