Question Red Efts

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.

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

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