I have two firebelly newts in a 10 gal vivarium now since early summer this past year. It's half land, half water up to about 4 -5in., because my research showed they liked lots of water. After the first couple of days after putting them in, they discovered land and now refuse to go back in the water!! If you put them near it, their little legs start thrashing about like they can't stand to get their feet wet! They must go in sometime to eat!! I recently got a new one, and I don't think he's left the water yet! He's perfectly at home in it.!! So who knows what they'll do???
