Hello keepers.
I have a question to ask all of you. But first, some background.
I live in a tropical country in South East Asia. It's very humid here, and humidity often reaches 100%. The temperate here goes from 22 °C to 34 °C (72° to 93 °F). Newts I have seen being sold are usually either Shanjing species or Fire bellys.
I used to have a fire belly and I had it for almost a year. I'm thinking of keeping another one, but before that, I want to do even more research to ensure that it survives as long as it can! I've read almost all of the relevant FAQs (Cooling, General FAQ, species Care Sheet, Filters) so I'm definitely not lazy. I also scratched my head over the Cycling article. I want to do all I can for my future darling newt.
My question is, which species should I keep given the climate here? Is it possible for a fire belly to thrive here?
I am determined and am willing to drop ice cubes (dechlorinated, of course) every evening, air condition it every night etc etc. Just please let me know what else I can do!
P.S. I have not determined what sort of Fire Belly (orientalis or pyrrogaster) they keep at this farm here. I will let you guys know after I have made a trip there.
Many thanks in advance,
Jelly
