Pachytriton labiatum
Chinese Warty Newt, Paddle Tail Newt
- These newts are semi-aquatic and require both water and land areas in their enclosures.
- They can become aggressive towards conspecifics, so housing them individually or in carefully monitored groups is recommended.
- Pachytriton labiatum is carnivorous and primarily feeds on insects, small crustaceans, and worms.
- While generally hardy, they are sensitive to poor water quality and temperature fluctuations.
- Provide a tank setup that mimics their natural habitat, including ample hiding places and a mix of water and land areas.
