This week I am joined by hobbyist and breeder Sean Twohy. Sean breeds several amphibian species but his true passion is Cynops Cyanurus (AKA the blue tailed fire belly newt) and in this episode we discuss aquatic newt care, raising daphnia, UV lighting for newts, managing aquatic substrate, and we compare and contrast aquatic vs terrestrial amphibian husbandry. We also take a dive into cynops care and we finish with a discussion about the breeder vs keeper market.
