Looking at getting some freshly morphed Shanjing. Wondering do you put them on a terrestrial set up or do they need to be kept semi aquatic
 
I believe most people keep them terrestrial with a water bowl. If you are looking for a semi aquatic animal, look at the other tylo sub species.
 
I saw images of morphs with a larger water quantity then water then a bowl on the forum.
 
You sure they were shanjing? T.shanjing may not even enter the water to breed, chosing to lay in the wet margins of the water line.
Just to clarify, the other Tylototriton are not subspecies, they are full species.
 
Apologies lol ;)


Tylototriton verrucosus have a variant which shares an uncanny resemblance to the Shanjing. Theyare be considered semi/ fully aquatic.
 
May not have been Shanjing. Thinking small tank with water bowl, hide, soil, bark/cork and leaf litter

Doesn't sound like that was Shanjing you saw to me, upload the photo and I'm sure someone will tell you which one it is? :) But the list you gave sounds like a good list to me, I would add live moss to that list also.
 
Will add moss to the list. Hopefully post images of the setup shortly. Thanks the tips.
