Taricha granulosa

[ryan]

As a little kid these were always my favorite type of newt. Now that i am more experience, i am interested in keeping granulosa, but im not sure on the specifics of keeping them. Such as: water depth, temps, water/land ratio, and if they are difficult to breed or not? Thanks for all of your help.

These are some of the easiest newts to keep. A good water depth is around six inches. As for land just some place to climb out in case they need it, though you may never see them use it. Finally they are very temp. tolerant, but below 75F is recommend and the safest
