Re: taricha granulosa juveniles

I have one and I have been wondering about this. It has the same bumpy skin but when i moved it from a terrestrial to a semi-aquatic terrarium it refused to leave the water. So far it hasnt left the aquatic half of its tank. Is this normal?
thx all

That behavior sounds pretty normal to me, if it has the option to go on land but chooses to stay in the water I would I dont think it is any cause for concern. Your juvie will probably grow a lot faster if kept aquatic and will (usually) be easier to feed.

I think this is normal behavior. My T. granulosa are 4 months in then 8 months out with sporadic swimming sessions and they always prefer to be fed when in the water so I lure them in when its feeding time.
