Talking Newest Tylo Buddy

So after about a month I decided that Kroky (Guizhou Crocodile Newt) needed a buddy; I just received her new buddy and here he is!

He's a climber, I was very surprised how nimble he is! the coolest thing though was that within 5 minutes he ate a good sized Canadian nightcrawler

I got a funny feeling that this is a different type of tylo than Kroky; she's a Tylototriton c.f. kweichowensis and I think my new one is a true kweichowensis

Yes, it is a T.kweichowensis. It seems they are two separate species, after all.
I hope you have quarantined the new aquisition as it is clearly a WC animal and it doesn´t look that great...Try to fatten it up with earthworms and waxworms, and make sure to provide optimal conditions and a stress free environment.

Will do, he seems to have calmed down now, I'll be sure to monitor his activities. Cause of his size should i feed him for now everyday or every other day? I'm not too sure in that sense what to do...
