This is my Danube crested newt paludarium I built. It houses two newts. My female newt is named Poots on newts and Groot the newt is the male. They are both a little over 1 year old in this video.
I do not have to water the terrestrial plants because it stays pretty humid with the lid on. I do open it up to air out so the bonsai tree doesn't get too wet.

Excellent work, I really like it. I've been thinking of making a newt paludarium, because I don't want frogs or toads. But I don't know anything about newts. I'd like some that are primarily aquatic, but do need to be on land at times. And I'd like them to be brightly colored.
@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 3 года назад
If you're looking to learn more about newts then you should visit caudata.org. that's where I researched everything before hand.

@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 3 года назад
Thanks! All filtration is done with with the lava rocks and plants. I do a 50% water change every 2-3 months. The window screen I put on there acts as a physical filter before water gets to the pump.

Awesome job. One question. With your land island does the water going through the substrate tan or dirty your water? Thanks for the great video.
@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 2 года назад
Sorry for the late reply. The water is clear in the main part of the tank. The substrate I used was an aquatic soil so it was meant to be submerged in water. The area under the tree is blocked off from the rest of the tank. it slowly gets water build up in it and that water is dirty. I have to suction it out about once a year.

@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 3 года назад
I didn't have one written down so here what I remember light diffuser panel, zip ties, GE silicon one, screen widow mesh, foam core board, a submersible water pump, tubing, PVC connectors, lava rocks, Great Stuff Pond & Stone expanding foam, Krylon fusion spray paint, frosted window tent, eco complete substrate, aquarium sand. The rest are the plants and animals listed in the video. The Great Stuff Pond & Stone expanding foam, Krylon fusion spray paint, and GE silicon one are all aquarium safe.

The plants use the waste from the newts and fish as fertilizer. This also helps keep the water clean.

Amazing tank! I have been looking for Danube crested newts for quite some time and even tough these newts are native to Austria (where I live), I have not managed to find anyone who breeds or sells them (or any other native amphibian for that matter).
@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 3 года назад
I'm sorry you can't find them. I had to do a lot of searching here in the USA. I eventually found a breeder on caudata.org. They have a section for the EU on there, you might as well look there too.
@Velcraft
@Velcraft 3 года назад
Most countries require extensive permits to breed and keep endemic wildlife as pets, because there's always a risk the pet population gets introduced into the ecosystem, where it can throw things off-balance or bring unwanted genetics or diseases into the wild (like from accidental inbreeding, or keeping species not found in the wild together). Contact your local herpetological society for more info about how you could keep them legally.
@yourlocaltoad5102
@yourlocaltoad5102 3 года назад
@@Velcraft the legal aspects would be no problem. It would just require a document by the breeder to prove that they are not wild caught, but my problem is that I can’t find any breeders. I already have contacted my local herpetological society, multiple groups of local hobbyists, a few wholesalers and I have regularly searched through just about every site where people sell the animals they breed in my country and in neighbouring countries. There is just absolutely nothing to be found

Hi nice tank ! How do you maintain the terrestrial plants ?
@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 Год назад
the roots of the terrestrial plants touch the water so i don't need to water them. They just take what the need. Every once in a while I like to cover the top and let the tank gather condensation. This helps the aerial roots grow on the tree.

Have many fish been eaten? I am considering housing Endlers with fire belly newts.
@fosterspetsanddiy8369
@fosterspetsanddiy8369 2 года назад
A few fish have gone missing and suspect they were eaten but I've never seen it. I got white cloud mountain minnows because they are barbless so if they get eaten they won't hurt the fish and they like cold water like the newts.
