(quick question for care) paramesotriton chinensis on the juvenile stage....

[jjereme]

Hi, chaps.
I have Chinese Warty newts on the terrarium, and I wonder when they go into the water.
Anyone knows?
They were morphed two month ago, and it's about 5cm in size.
Should I make a semi-aquatic environment?

No. Far too small. Too be honest you have a number of years to keep them terrestrial. They will drown otherwise.

Yes, please read up on them. THis is a critical stage and will last a few years.

Thank you for answers.
It means that it's a too small to get into the water...
Then I just need to put the water bowl aside, right?
1 to 2 centimeters high so it won't sink in the water.
and is there anything else I should be careful about
