Hi everyone!
I got 2 marbled newts last week. This is where they are living at the moment - all the stuff is from a forest (mostly beech, oak and holly). I mixed the decomposed leaves and soil with some coconut coir. I hope the substrate will last and that the moss and plants live for some time. I'm not sure yet if I'll keep the newts terrestrial or aquatic when they're older.
Thanks for your comments!

Not have much experience with this type of newts but it seems to me!
Try to always keep it moist but not flooded! If plants do not resist change, it is preferable to others. However I think you better give them a semi-aquatic, so that the time they went to the water gradually! Good luck, it's very cool!
 
I think they look very happy in their new home...lovely to see them.
