hi guys
i read this on the FAQ
The most widely available newt species, Cynops orientalis, is very sensitive to warm temperatures and often arrives to pet stores in poor condition. Here are some species that are more hardy: Pleurodeles waltl, Tylototriton verrucosus, Cynops pyrrhogaster, and Cynops ensicauda. These four species can tolerate temps above 21°C (72°F) as long as they are healthy. None of these species is readily available in a pet shop, except occasionally C. pyrrhogaster. To obtain the others you need to find a breeder.
i have choosen
1) Tylototriton verrucosus
2) Cynops ensicauda
may i know if Cynops pyrrhogaster and Cynops cyanurus. which is better handling higher temps like 22-25 degrees?
and also Pleurodeles waltl . i read we should keep at 21 degrees in the caresheet but it is ok to keep them at 22-25 degrees?
how about the Pseudobranchus axanthus dwarf siren? can it tolerate these temps at 22-25degrees?
the reason i asked is because i set my chiller to off at 22 degrees and on at 25 degrees. i didn't want my chiller to be running all the time. setting to 22-25 degrees it turns on only 6 times per day 1.5 hours each time. save me alot electricity bills.
also another reason i can't go down beyond 22 degrees is the huge amount of water condensation occurs at below 22 degrees. i have tried 16-18 degrees and really a lot of water on the floor the next day i get a scolding from my spouse...
thanks.
