Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

ISO Alpine Newts!
Hello everyone! This is my first post on the forum, so I'm pretty excited! I'm a member on some aquarium forums, and I've been in the aquarium hobby for a few years. I've recently been looking into getting in the paludarium game, and what better inhabitant for a paludarium than newts?! I'm specifically looking for alpine newts, so if anyone has any or knows some breeders on here that do, that would be great! Also any basic care/info you can share on alpine newts I would love that as well! I've done a good bit of research thus far, but nothing beats good ol experience!

I have a pair of italian alpine newts, they are fully aquatic, the adults I have and the paladariums are the new cool things as fish tanks are slowly fading. Its either acrylic tanks now days with aqua scaping and vivarium and paladarium builds that seem to be the new cool thing. We got a local breeder here for newts. But its hard to find the odd and rare species , theres also a store called twin cities reptiles here in st paul MN, they have alpines here and there. Its really hit or miss with them and I do beleive they would ship aswell. Also, I bought a acrylic door to glue onto my 40 gallon breeder tank. If you want to buy conversion kits from '' I heart geckos'' they sell them at a reasonable price if you want to transform your tanks into paladariums. And if you check out serpa design on youtube he shows some DIY videos on making paladariums and conversion kits done cheaply.

As in size, you could do a 10gallon minimum, but atleast a 20 gallon long and the newtys love you long time. Im sure you know petco has the 1dollar a gallon sale yr round now days. There was a rule of thumb alot will say 5gallons per 1 single newt. But hey, if you can find a 30gallon long that would be awesome. You could set up like a 40% land ratio and a 60% water or other way around etc....I think that would be awesome, that way when they decide to make some babies you could let them grow into the enviroment. Imagine in the land dwelling part having substrate(coco fiber mixed with dirt or something) and live organisms in the mix like isopods(small versions) and spring tails. Long boys arent that easy to find, though Im waiting to buy a 30 gallon long for myself as my crested danubes are slowly making babies. Sorry sometimes I ramble on to much!!

You have alot of creativity!! reminds me of serpa designs channel, that would be completely awesome. My italian alpine newts are adults now, and they dont seem to require land anymore. But I wanna move them over to a bigger tank , hoping they are getting closer to maturity to make more. Dont forget pothos, super easy semi aquatic vine, even grows good underwater too. I collect lots of aquatic and pond plants. If you ever get a chance, check out daphnia cultures on ebay, easy to raise and all my newts love eating them. Today im getting a culture of grindal worms, another easy live food to raise.
