Heres a snap of the tank I have set up for some Plethodon cinereus I will be receiving next week. Its a two foot tank, furnished with moss,leaf litter and mossy twigs-with three small hardy ferns planted within. Look forward to seeing the sals in there-they would be in there today if it wasnt for the weather!

Thanks-the blue backing detracts a bit form the prettiness! Its an ex-aquarium shop display tank-there was a leak near the top so perfect for converting to a viv.

Very nice setup Smile

Do you collect the moss yourself or do you buy it in? If so where from? Would very much like some for myself Very Happy

Good look with the salamanders Smile

I got it from a local wood-fairly sure it is ok-no treatments used in that area, and no amphibians in thata rea to spread disease. If you would like i could send you some?

not to put a downer on it or to cause problems but i think moss gathering is illegal in the UK isn't it. not sure don't moan if its not.just worked with he rspb for a longtime and they prosecuted a few people for doing so, but it may have been coz it was on heathlands?? not sure
