I got these from Jen about a month ago.

Their bellies are a very vibrant yellow-orange with black and small touches of white.

A ventral shot (the tub is kind of textured, so its a bit fuzzy, sorry)

This one's a bit washed out, but shows the pattern well.

This one's extremely terrestrial, rarely goes into the water. It's the runt. I also have one thats VERY light grey, pretty. I'll have to get more pics tomorrow.

Try to feed them al lot of Daphnia when they are in water, that will give them nice orange bellies in the future. You can keep them aquatic very easily, but mostly they have a short terrestrial period after metamorphosis.

Serge, 3 are mostly aquatic, while this one is only aquatic when it falls off the ramp while trying to 'kill' its worm. I'll look into daphnia
