Red Efts

[Liston156]

i recently obtained 2 red efts due to them being unwanted by the previous owner, i have kept them together in a medium sized tub with evrything that the caresheets ask for and they are kept very humid at all times.

is there anything i should know about these other than what the caresheets say?

help plz?

supposedly they grow into eastern newts after spending years of being an eft???

im no next to nothing about amphibs so if people on here have never heard of them then it could be interestng lol

[daftlassieEmma]

they're the terrestrial eft stage of eastern/red-spotted newts Notophthalmus viridescens

which if i'm not mistaken are completely aquatic as adults?

how am i meant to know when they have decided to go fully aquatic?

i cant anything anywhere about how they go from eft to newt

give them a large seep water bowl that is easy to get out of
