An Aquarium or glass terrarium will be needed to house your Fire-Bellied Newts.

Fire-Bellied Newts are semi-aquatic and need a 70/30 split within their tank, with 30% being land based, while the other being a water area. Alternatively, you could have a fully aquatic set-up, with floating islands of cork bark or large rocks pertruding out of the water to give your newts a place to rest and bask.

They are good at escaping, so care should be taken to ensure your tank has a tight fitting lid.
