sorry for the sizes :) Also if any one has any info to better set him up then please share, This is only a temp enclosure wile he is small, but he will probably be there for a wile yet before i move him outdoors.

Any one got any info on water temperature ? Starting to get a bit worried about him now that its getting into winter time in SEQ its been in the high 20s in his water where he sleeps but suspect it could drop a fair bit in the early hours of morning when the heat lights are off.
Cant find much online so any info would be awesome.
Cheers
 
Bump!
Would still love some more info if any one has any, Also any one know how long they can hold there breath for ? Really freeks me out some times when his sleeping.
 
i love it, maybe try adding an aquarium heater to the water, but make sure to get a protection thing for around it so he doesnt burn himself. i love the mertens. wouldnt mind getting one myself. sorry i cant help wiht much else.
is he much of a handler?
 
^^ He was fine to handle until a little wile ago. I went a way for a month and he has been a bit hissy and wont let me handle him since i been back, But hes slowly getting use to me again.
 
oh awesome. i would really enjoy having a nive mertens. after getting my sandies and seeing how active they are i just cant wait to get a mertens and see it swimming round lol. btw, i jsut found out if you run an aquarium heater in the pond it should be set at about 26-28 degrees.
cheers.
 
Cool cheers for that , will definitely have to sort some thing out asap for him then.. Just have to find a heater small enough to for his tub, think its only 5L.
 
He's awesome - I want one :)
Nice looking setup you have going there. How old is he?
 
Around one year i think, hasent really grown much since i have had him, wich is probably a good thing wile im living in an apartment :p
