• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

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?

salamander
 
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.
