Now that is what i call a lovely adorable shot paris! Well done! Are they in a terrestrial setup?
 
no its a corner platform i have java moss and plants growing over, there is a piece of driftwood that serves for another land area on the other side along with java moss and plants on it too-in between is a water area and its about 4" deep
 
They are quite nice Paris!

I went back to the Taricha breeding pond about a week ago, and the pond has not actually dried up. In fact, it was quite healthy with frogs and snails. However, I did not see any newts, they seem to be in aestivation during the summer heat.

It makes me wonder if T. torosa do not necessarily "need" a terrestrial phase, although they prefer it.

they certainly arent as aquatic as granulosas, most the time 3 of the 4 are on the land section, when they know food is coming they get into the water since most of what i give them is in the water.
