Terrarium Setup: Salamanders & other amphibians || Terrarienaufbau: Feuersalamander

Check FB for many many pet photos: / aquaterralife
As my fire salamanders hibernate in their overwintering-terrarium at the moment, I used the chance to renovate the terrarium.
The terrarium size is 120cm x 40cm x 50cm.
This setup is good for salamanders and other terrestrial amphibians.
Setup:
As first layer there is a drainage under the soil: Under the land section is a ~10cm high layer of hydro balls, working as drainage system. The complete layer is coated with a fine filter mat to divide the drainage layer from the earth layer. This setup lets the earth stay humid enough to ensure plantgrowth but won't let the land become marshy. For the water I use a filter which runs a few times per week for a few hours sporadically.
I used a mix of garden and forest soil, including earthworms, woodlouses and other useful microorganisms. Mosses, pieces of old bark and flat stones enable many spots where the salamanders can hide. If you use flat stones, you should be sure that they can not fall down on the salamanders. Ivy is suitable for a humid terrarium, it prospers in my salamander terrarium for over 8 years now.
Before the salamanders move in again, I will give some more bark pieces and dry leaves into the terrarium.
Fire salmanders do not necessarily need as much water as I have in my terrarium, a flat saucer embedded in the ground is enough.
In this terrarium I keep two fire salamanders (Salamandra s. terrestris), occasionally together with three fire-bellied toads.

Da meine Feuersalamander gerade ihre Winterruhe halten, habe ich die Chance genutzt das Terrarium noch einmal gründlich zu renovieren.
Die Maße des Terrariums betragen 120cm x 40cm x 50cm (LBH), wobei ein Wasserteil ca. 40cm x 30cm der Grundfläche einnimmt. (Am Ende des Videos sieht man den Wasserteil kurz.)
Dieser Terrarienaufbau eignet sich für Salamander und auch für viele andere terrestrische Amphibien.
Zur Einrichtung:
Unter der Erde befindet sich eine ca. 8cm hohe Schicht Drainage-Kugeln. Die Erde besteht aus einem Gemisch aus Garten- und Walderde inklusive Würmern, Asseln und anderen nützlichen Kleinstlebewesen. Moose, Rindenstücke und flache Steinplatten (Schieferplatten eignen sich sehr gut) bieten viele Versteckmöglichkeiten. Wenn man Steinplatten verwendet, muss darauf geachtet werden, dass diese gut gesichert sind und nicht auf die Salamander fallen und diese erdrücken können. Efeu gedeiht schon seit 8 Jahren in meinem Salamander-Terrarium.
Bevor die Salamander einziehen werde ich noch ein paar mehr Rindenstücke und getrocknetes Laub im Terrarium verteilen.
Einen so großen Wasserteil wie ich ihn eingebaut haben brauchen Feuersalamander nicht unbedingt. Man kann auch einfach eine flache Wasserschale in den Boden einlassen.
In diesem Terrarium halte ich zwei Feuersalamander (Salamandra s. terrestris), zeitweise zusammen mit drei Rotbauchunken.

Awesome, this is exactly how I do my salamander's tank. Now when people ask how it's done, I can refer them to your video, rather than type up a couple paragraphs each time on how to do it. Cool setup!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Aaron Henderson Thanks, mate! Awesome to know, that others do it the same way. :)

[@TreyBeckGA]

Work of art for sure . so very nice .

Amazing setup

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thanks! :)

[@JapanHerpingChannel]

The setup looks great! I love the mossy look of the tank a lot!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thank you, the salamanders seem to like the moss, too. :)

[@JapanHerpingChannel]

Aquarium and Terrarium Life That's great! I'd love to get some fire salamanders someday.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Japan Herping Channel Yeah, they are great. My salamanders bred for the first time last year and I raised my first salamander larva. That was a great experience.

[@JapanHerpingChannel]

Neat!

Thats cool I have always wanted to do that with a bunch of setups but then I was like when I get to it I'm gonna do it in a green house with animals that wont eat each other but when that time comes I will need to have a serious amount of professional help and some cash lol,. Nice job I hit your sub button as well.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Krazy Kids Oh well, you don't need professional help and much cash, you only need a tank you can get everything else outside. :) Thank you. :)

[@DevonThomas1204]

Krazy Kids I'm a big fan

[@mosshivenetwork117]

I like moss

[@dino-ef1pn]

I bet that’s fun to clean out

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Isopods, earthworms, springtails and other tiny invertebrates do most of the work.

[@LJStrebor]

Awesome Setup! What are you using for drainage for the first layer under the soil?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+goose4101 Thanks! I used drainage balls. On them I put a filter mat so that the earth can't fall through.

[@51mushudragon51]

How do you control bugs in your terrarium plants? I have a 3 year old Tiger Salamander. He's my happy little fella! :) We have struggled with this ongoing problem. Thanks for the awesome video. Any tips are much appreciated!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Victoria Stark Hey Victoria, I must admit that I didn't have any problems with too many bugs in my tanks. Usually the salamanders (and the spiders etc. in my other tanks) hunt the bugs etc and keep down the number of insects. May I ask which kind of bugs in pariticular it is, you are having problems with? Sunny greetings from Germany, Nils

[@harleygilmore253]

This setup looks like a temperate setup. I like this. I frequently see tropical setups and have trouble finding temperate ones. I have a spotted salamander and was thinking of using this type of setup as an inspiration. What type of plants do you have in here?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Yes, it's for my fire salamanders, a temperate species. For spotted salamanders I'd also recommend a big amount of lose ground, as they tend to burrow in the ground like most Ambystoma species. I use moss from outside (I'm in Germany) and ivy in this tank.

[@michellejohnson1244]

Absolutely beautiful setup 😍😍😍 I have a few questions... one how do I keep the water clean? And two I used natural moss found in my backyard forest ( I have a large property) and now my terrarium is growing mushrooms... is that bad? Should I remove them?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thank you! :) In this tank I first used a big external filter (from eheim), that pumped the water from one end (the water part) to the other (into the drainage layer beneath the ground). That's an amazing and super efficient way to filter the water, though it is not really necessary for this salamander tank. So after a few years I switched to a small internal filter (used for tanks of ~10-50 L), which works very good for me. The salamanders don't really use the water section outside the breeding season, so no real filter is necessary in this time. Then it's enough to exchange the water every other week. About the mushrooms: I usually just let them grow, as ling as they look good. They should not hurt the salamanders, but might be used as food source for invertebrate-"tank mates"/feeders (like isopods, slugs, crickets).

[@joepilbeam3600]

Awesome looking set up, could I ask what light source you use for this please, I'm looking to set something similar up for a pair of fire salamanders and trying to find the right balance between light to keep the plants going but not too much heat to harm the sals! Natural light by a window isn't possible in the room I'm keeping these! Thanks

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I use a normal daylight neon tube for this tank. But in runs only for 2-3 hours per day, so the salamanders don't get disturbed too much by the bright light. For the plants, it seems to be sufficient.

[@edwardbd07]

Wow im very impressed, ive been vigorously researching paludariums and i need help. Can you explain how you separate the land from water/prevent the water from soaking the land section? And explain your underneath drainage system?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+edward bodo I don't really prevent that, the water keeps the land part humid enough so that there can grow moss and other plants. Under the land section is a ~10cm high layer of hydro balls, working as drainage system. The complete layer is coated with a fine filter mat to divide the drainage layer from the earth layer. This setup lets the earth stay humid enough to ensure plantgrowth but won't let the land become marshy. For the water I use a filter which runs a few times per week for a few hours sporadically.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I don't think it's more work to set up a drainage layer. And it is easier for the tank's water cycle, the plants can soak the water from the drainage layer under the substrate and if you filter the water, it's easier to keep the whole tank clean.

[@sen94100]

Beautiful setup, what kind of moss do you use ?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thanks! I collected different mosses from a nearby forest, I don't know the exact species.

[@RobinVanstokstraeten]

Nice setup, never thought of keeping your Fire salamanders/ toads in a 'tank' outside? I have great results with it! Greetz

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Herpit Thanks. I'm not sure. The winters still are relatively cold here. Do you have big ground layers in which they can burrow in winter? Also I keep my salamanders at my parent's at the moment, as I don't have any space for their big tank in my flat. So I can look for them only once in a week or two. :/

[@RobinVanstokstraeten]

Aquarium and Terrarium Life It can be very cold here too! But I buried some logs in the ground covered with lots of leaves and organic material, perfect place for them too stay in the winter! Works every year here! I hope I'll get some Bombina baby's this year... :D

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Ah I see.. When I have a garden (myself) I probably will do this, too. But that won't happen too soon. ^^ That'd be great! Do you keep Bombina bombina?

[@RobinVanstokstraeten]

Aquarium and Terrarium Life Bombina variegata :) Can't wait to show you them! In 2016 they will be 2 and 3 years old, I hope I'll get some juveniles! Like bombina bombina too, but they are veeeeery hard to find here in Belgium :( Do you had already some juveniles?

[@RobinVanstokstraeten]

Soon I'll make some trips to Germany to herp ;) Eifel-Mosel-Schwartzwald

[@djandkikivlogs1045]

that music is pretty

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thanks.^^

[@thelovelydrkeyx3250]

That is quite the set up. Beautifully done. I was wondering what type of vine plant are you planting? I am in the process of aquascaping for dart frogs and have been searching KZbin for various ideas. My daughters are going to be ecstatic. Thanks in advance.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+TaQuita Riley Thank you. :) The plant is just normal ivy (Hedera helix). I also used some other vine in this tank before ( I think something like Epipremnum aureum), but it grew too fast and the leaves were to big, so I now only use the normal ivy in this tank. It doesn't grow too fast and the leaves don't become that big. But I'm not sure if it is suitable for a dart frog tank..

[@thelovelydrkeyx3250]

Aquarium and Terrarium Life Thanks a bunch. I'll continue to do my research so I don't get the wrong things. You have been very helpful.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

You're welcome. :) If you got a vid or some photos of your setup when it's finished, I'd be glad if you'd share them with me. :)

[@myfreestylebmx1]

did you use some sort of liquid barrier between the aquatic side and the land side?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+myfreestylebmx1 No, the only "barrier" are the big stones you can see. Though I have built an drainage system under the land so that it won't become marshy. Under the land section is a ~10cm high layer of hydro balls, working as drainage system. The complete layer is coated with a fine filter mat to divide the drainage layer from the earth layer. This setup lets the earth stay humid enough to ensure plantgrowth but won't let the land become marshy. For the water I use a filter which runs a few times per week for a few hours sporadically.

[@sabaforti3358]

Wenn man so hoch baut reicht dafür wirklich Erde oder benötigt man noch zur Befestigung Lehm oder sowas?

[@donnaregalado1281]

Any ond b else see the worm?

[@Sem0299]

👍

[@robbitt]

How do you clean the tank? There's no drainage level. Do the animals live in their own waste?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

There is a drainage layer of clay balls under the actual ground layer. Feel free to check this video, where you can also see the drainage layer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHvPhp9mga6LidU

[@thebosh2512]

Near the plants

[@stavroske81]

Do you spray manually or do you use a sprinkler?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Normally I don't spray this tank at all. Due to the plants, water part and underground drainage layer the air humidity stays high enough usually.

[@valentiurazvan2197]

alai acvariul meu

[@noahsepretebreedvlogs6645]

who saw the worm ha ha lol

[@adamwhitehead4677]

I did

[@fishinbros7300]

Do you filter the water or just do water changes

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I filter the water with a small pump, but it's not really necessary in a firesalamander tank.

[@alex619881]

Wie hast du das mit dem wasser hin bekommen ?! Das die erde nicht übernässt bzw. Nicht ganz nass wird ?! Hast du das wasser becken abgedichtet so das es nicht zu der erde kontakt hat oder wie ?!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Alex Like Hallo Alex. Ich habe keine Trennwand drin, unter der dicken Erdschicht befindet sich eine 10 cm dicke Schicht aus Drainage Kugeln, darauf liegt eine dünne Filtermatte und darauf die Erdschicht. Die Erde ist natürlich immer recht feucht, aber durch die Drainage Schicht nicht zu nass.

[@jacklivingston4182]

This is a very nice setup just do not use it for toads because of the moss

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thank you. Why should moss be bad for firebellied toads?

[@terraristikwelt2541]

How big the Terrarium is and how many salamanders will life inside ?? Will also live frogs inside ?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

The terrarium size is 120cm x 40cm x 50cm. In this terrarium I keep two fire salamanders (Salamandra s. terrestris), occasionally together with four fire-bellied toads.

[@mr.quimby_is_newclyde8830]

+Aquarium and Terrarium Life would a 30 gallon long work for this oh and what is the maintenance for a tank like this

[@thebosh2512]

The worm was by the glass

[@parker-jx1yc]

The Bosh25 what time

[@AUKMedia]

What watering schedule do you use? Specifically how do you keep your moss alive and green?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Amazing Footage 27 As I have a drainage under the earth in this tank, the moss is always humid from below, when you want to keep the moss alive and green you have to spray at least every 3 days, the more the better.

[@AUKMedia]

+Aquarium and Terrarium Life So, say i gathered moss from outside and filled a 10 gallon it. I placed a good layer or gravel and sprayed it every three days. will it grow? what lighting does the moss require, would a white florescent work?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

If the gravel stays humid and 3 days are enough to keep the moss humid from above (I guess it should), that should work. You can place the tank next to a window, then it will get enough sunlight. I'm not sure if a florescent would work, too. That depends on the lumen and if it fills the blue and red spectrum of daylight.

[@AUKMedia]

+Aquarium and Terrarium Life So I should try and get a daylight grow bulb instead?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

With such a bulb it should work. I'm not sure if your other lighting does also work, I would try it. When the moss looks bad you still can buy another bulb. :)

[@egorturalin5934]

Hi I'm thinking of getting a reptile what's better a tiger salamander or a leopard gecko

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Dark Panther Hi man! That depends completely on what you'd like more and what you can offer your future pet. First of all, a tiger salamander is not a reptile, it's an amphibian. Tiger salamanders need much ground to burrow, a small water part or a water dish and don't like too high temperatures. A Leopard Gecko is a small gecko, that loves warm temperatures and needs a desert/hot steppe like tank. They are both relatively easy pets, but are completely different. :)

[@NewNationale]

must be annoying to clean but love the decor

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+JesterGary Well, I don't have to clean it very often. It is small self-cleanig ecosystem, as there are many destruents living in this tank. Like woodlice, worms, sringtails... And as everything left gets washed into the water I just have to clean the filter. :)

[@daemon8802]

Servus, Wo hast du deine Salamander her? Viele Grüße

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Hi, ich habe meine Salamander vor über 10 Jahren von einem Züchter gekauft. Seitdem züchte ich auch selber.

[@sonjablue5652]

Hi i was wondering how long it took for your larvae to grow into adults i have a yellow spotted salamander and in the past two days hes gotten bigger and longer but hes still a baby (only an inch)

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+sonja blue My salamanders metamorphed with 1-2 month. But it will take a few more years until they're full grown.

[@sonjablue5652]

Thanks another thing do they prefer live or the dryed stuff from pet stores...

[@AquaTerra-Life]

They prefer live food. I always feed small invertebrates I find outside, like small earthworms, woodlice and slugs. You can also buy small (or micro) crickets (but alive).

[@sonjablue5652]

Thank you so much

[@josiagommel2320]

i got a few questions. first, can I just use plant soil? second, for small salamanders that grow up to 10 cm, could i use a 8'' long, 6'' wide and 3'' high terrarium? third of all,do terrestrial salamanders need water? and last of all, do salamanders need plants or sticks to climb up?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Hey Josia, You can use plant soil, if there are no additional ingredients. But when there are some fertilizers or something else in the soil, you cannot use it, it could be harmful for the salamander. For a long-term tank, it should be a little bigger. Also because terrestrial salamanders like to burrow, and a height of 3" would be to less. Terrestrial salamanders don't need a big water part, a small water bowl, that is always filled with water, is enough. Most salamanders do not climb that much. Only arboreal species need this necessarily. Most species are living directly on or in the ground.

[@josiagommel2320]

so if i get a 20'' x 10'' x 10'' it would be good? and how do you keep the temperature cool in the summer?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

That would be perfectly fine. :) My big salamander tank is in the cellar, there it doesn't get too warm. When it gets too warm I put the boxes for the juveniles also in the cellar.

[@josiagommel2320]

could i also fill a bottle, put it in the fridge and then put it in the terrarium?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Well, this works for aquariums, in my axolotl tank I do this every day in summer with at least 2 bottles. But I am not sure how good it works for terrestrial setups. It could work, too.

[@trudymcdonald9246]

I have fire belly s just born how do I care for them and what do they eat

Fire-bellied toads? Or newts?

[@RexaZii]

I planning to buy a very large tank, and make a huge vivarium + terrarium + Aquarium. But now I’m struggling to where I can get the tools like grass rock etc. I want grass and plants that are fake but very realistic. Does anyone knows where to get some of these? I found some in Amazon, but where can I find more?!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Sorry, as I only use life plants I don't know where you can get these things.

[@ben9842]

Beutifull work mate but just to let u know that it if includes water rather than just in a water bowle it is actusly classed as a palidarium plz ignore my horendus spelling

[@mlowder613]

where do you get your moss from?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Michaela Lowder I just take it from outside. You can find giant amounts of moss in forests. :)

[@saurianscapes2805]

This is beautiful, so you must be doing something right. Mine just keeps molding : /

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Brian Bloomfield That sucks, do you have woodlice, springtails and other small inverts in your tank? And live plants? They all contribute to a small but functional ecosystem. This helps to prevent mold.

[@saurianscapes2805]

I don't have any of those introduced and that may be the problem. I'll have to consider trying them but If they escape can they infest your house?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

These small organisms are important when it comes to a working microsystem. I don't think so. Most of them need slightly humid conditions, they would dry out if they escaped, I guess. Though you should of course try to make it as hard as possible for anything to escape of your tank, but that is also for live food like crickets or slugs.^^

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Yeah, you can also use this kind of substrate, As long as the salamanders have the chance to dig a little, it should be okay.

[@mr.quimby_is_newclyde8830]

What would u do for maintenance on this

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I don't really do much on this. It runs good on itself. Sometimes I need to add some water, that's it. :D If you want moss to stay alive, you need to keep it moist (not wet) by spraying. Plus sometimes I exchange the water in the water part of the tank.

[@thebosh2512]

What did you put in there?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

What do you mean? Which animals? The tank was for my fire slamanders.

[@adamjones9016]

hey could it be possible to get some input on my set ups? just got a marbled salamander and tiger salamander today and never had owned one before. I can do koi and geckos but I'm at a loss here. help me out please?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Adam Jones Hey Adam. Do you already have set up the tanks? If so, could you upload pictures or a video of them? For marbled newts JHC has made a great setup (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSrd5-nqsmtrc0), For tiger salamanders you can do something like in my setup above. Be sure to put in ground in which the salamader can dig and burrow. Salamanders need a realtively high level of humidity, though the tank should not be completely wet. Tigers don't want a swampy ground. They like to bath in water bowl sometimes, but usually they hide in the ground or under bark. Would be great if you could upload pics of your setups. :) -Nils

[@adamjones9016]

+Aquarium and Terrarium Life yeah I just uploaded a video of both of my salamanders habitats. the tiger salamanders hasn't been set up yet. like I said in the video it's how it came from the store minus the filter

[@dr.hartman5661]

Now a how to clean vid

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Well, the only things I clean are the water part and the and the glass. Glass I just wash with a wet sponge, the dirty water runs down into the ground from where it can run into the water part. In the water I use a small filter which I clean every few weeks when it needs to be cleaned. And then I have to fill in some water every few weeks. That's all. ;)

[@donteague614]

What species of moss?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I think mostly Brachythecium sp., but I'm not 100% sure.

[@Austin_S988]

What size is the tank?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

It's the same tank as in the other video, so also 120x40x50 cm.

[@damndanno1181]

What moss is this?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

I am not 100% sure, but it could be Eurhynchium striatum. This is a common species in the surrounding forests where I live.

[@marvino8346]

wo kann man sich solche moosteppiche holen den im zooladen findet man nur dieses zusammengepresste moos das auch nicht gerade schön aussieht

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+T R I I N E X X Ich hole das Moos immer draußen im Wald. Allerdings muss man mittlerweile aufpassen, wo man sich das Moos holt, da der Chytrid-Pilz mittlerweile auch in Deutschland vorkommt. (Zumindest wenn man Amphibien hält.)

[@firebirdnewt]

what kind of salamander lives in it?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+firebirdnewt I keep firesalamanders and fire-bellied toad in this tank.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thank you for your kind attention. I know, that it is not welcome to most people, to keep different species together. But as they have enough space in their tank to avoid each other, and as the toads are way aquatic while the salamanders stay on the terrestrial part, I don't see a problem in keeping them together (under these circumstances only). I keep them together for more than 5 years now and I never had any problems.

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Thank you, you're very kind in telling me that, most people are very harsh when it comes to this topic. Though I still will not seperate them, I kept the seperate before and after a short period of acclimatization they behaved completely normal, as before. Both species are active and mate succesfully. Of course, when there would be any problems, I would seperate them directly! I have the capacity to keep them in seperate tanks, if needed.

[@rickstickmen7716]

How does one prevent mold?

[@AquaTerra-Life]

+Rick stickmen The microfauna prevents mold. I keep many woodlice, springtails, earthworms and many more small invertebrates in all my tanks, they eat remaining food and also faeces. So they keep the tanks clean.

[@rickstickmen7716]

+Aquarium and Terrarium Life very interesting. thank you
