My marms should morph soon. They hatched in late April and are now 6 to 6.5 cm long (see pic) and I have seen them breathe at the surface.
I need to decide whether to keep them aquatic or terrestrial after morphing. I know both has been done successfully by people on this forum. I'm curious though which method is more common and what the pitfalls of each are.
I assume in the wild they are mostly terrestrial, but that may be more of an ecological necessity because of drying ponds than a physiological requirement.
Please take the poll if you have kept marmoratus juveniles and if you wish, elaborate on why you kept them that way ?
