Options for a 20 long ?

[Bombina Bob]

Hi there
a 20 gallon would be perfect for fire belly newts,Caudata culture has plenty of newt and sal care sheets and setup guides.

good luck with your setup!

My other option is trade it for a 10 gallon set up to upgrade my ADF ...

What would you do?

I've heard that Laotian Newts are becoming more popular and are easy for a beginner newt keeper. A 20 gallon long is perfect for a pair of them, never keep more than 1 male in a tank though, multiple females is ok if you have the room. You should check out the most recent issue of Reptiles Magazine, there is an article on the newts I'm talking about in it. I saw one at the last reptile show in taylor, mi and regret not getting it. It was a pretty big one, very cool creature. There are all kinds of cool newts though, some are just higher maintenance than others. I suggest checking out Caudata.org if you're interested in them, lots of nice people and good information over there.

Oooh I suggest a tiger salamander. As far as I know a 20L is good for them? And they can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and are great eaters! It's a dream pet for me. I'll eventually have one .

The tigers have such a creepy face lol. For some reason the fires don't to me ... I am odd but I do know I would want a big eater but nothing I would have to feed small mammals to ( I am a rat mommy too so I couldn't stomach it)

I really do like salamanders and newts ... and I am sure my boyfriend wants something silent and I heart FBT's "sing"

Oh I will go look at that website thanks guys
