My 6 (UK) Gallon Firebellied Newt Vivarium

[Kathryn]

Hi everyone,
I have a VERY simple 6 UK gallon Newt Vivarium set up, with 2 Firebellied Newts. I filter it with a small Eheim Mini, tiny but a good wee filter! I have just a couple of plants, so I dont wan't to set up proper lighting tubes, so it is simply lit with a 25 watt reading light. :lol:
The simplest vivarium ever, but it does the job and the newts seem to be happy.
Here's some pics:

I love taking photos of them, as they, unlike fish, don't swim away!

He looks like an old man in this one!

He was breathing against the glass, causing condensation, but didn't seem to realise what it was!

Sorry for all the photos!! lol

Enjoy! Comments, suggestions and critisism welcomed.
