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.

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.

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.
