Dear forum,

I'm new here as I've just recently gotten into the hobby with three t. verrucosus.

They should be about one and a half year old and measure between 7.5 and 9cm (3-3.5 inch).
So far they've been 100% terrestrial even though I provide them with a couple cm of water.

It was my understanding that these newts become mostly acquatic but when will that be? Does it depend on size, age or any other factors?

Below a picture of my buddies as I know the tylototriton genus is still under discussion.
