Spring Cleaning

Whilst cleaning out some tanks today I grabbed the opportunity for some shots.

Lissotriton vulgaris



Tylototriton shanjing



Cynops pyrrhogaster - This guy was once the egg here!


Calotriton asper



Triturus marmoratus laying eggs

some of her eggs - I thought these were duds but they seem to be developing



and then it fell out the jelly prematurely, oops.

Awesome pics Mark!

really great pictures as always mark, what kind of moss is that you use in those terrestrial set-ups??

Very nice pictures Mark & a great variety to look at. Especially the Embryonic Development of your Cynops pyrrogaster & the picture of him now it's a treat to see. Best of luck with the rest of the eggs.

Hi Dane, that’s moss collected from the great outdoors. I’m no moss expert but the bulk of it looks like Thuidium tamariscinum with a spot of sphagnum thrown in. There’s probably a number of species growing in the same clump. We have a particularly damp climate here in the UK and moss isn’t hard to find.
