Well right now I have two setups:
A paddletail newt in a fully aquatic setup...no lights, no filter.
And 2 Jap. Firebellies...with hornwort & no filter, but a 20 W fluorecent light.
Each week they get their substrate cleaned ( gravel vacuum ) and a cool water change.
The room averages 76, but on the bottom of the floor ( which is where they are ) it's a bit cooler. The FB's are 72, the paddletail 74....
Both eat just fine and a fairly active. I've had them under these conditions for about 2 years....
Now, I'd like to expand. I haven't decided on what yet...but I'm thinking of species such as the spotted salamander, tigers, fire, marbled, etc.
Maybe I could build an acrylic "closet" and air condition that....keeping them all in their own terrariums.
