All terrain Newt or salamander
Hello everyone. Ive been itching to build a paludarium and I was wondering what newt or salamander would be an all terrain? something that uses water and land 50/50. I've noticed a lot of species are either terrain or aquatic. others only go aquatic during breeding season. id like something that likes to chase down terrestrial prey and swim after worms.
what are your suggestions? |

I've got an Alpine Newt, he likes to hide a lot in the terrestrial portion of my Paludarium, but its a nice surprise when you find him. Hope this helps!

alot of newts are 50/50 land n water, especially crocodile newts, also caimen lizards which grow to be a bit large, and sailfin lizards same, they grow to be a bit large. Anoles like anolis aquaticus and anolis vermaculatis like land and water and remain small like newts. Theres some skinks that like 50/50 land and water.

You could look into fire belly toads, though they arent salamanders or newts haha.

I just finished this, this is my real first time using expanding foam. I went through 3 cans and left over styrofoam laying around the house. Used window screen and weed prevention tarp. used plastic sheets (the kind for masking off areas to paint) for the pond liner and acrylic paint that was safe. Coco liner and coco fiber among little spots of basic terranium moss. There's 3 planter cups I found laying around that i used as natural planting spots. Its roughly 60% land and 40% water. The exo terra terranium (paladarium) was used for 100 bucks. And the cost of the materials were under 50 Dollars. I think Im gonna move my marbled newts over to this set up. Or my alpines or easterns. Unsure at the moment.https://imgur.com/a/UIBe71H
