During the weekend I went to a reptile fair in the Netherlands and received a group of larvae from Wouter (thanks Wouter). These larvae are of Tylototriton verrucosus (smaller dark-form). They are offspring of the animals or similar depicted on this thread:

I received 20 in total but one succumbed during transport and was partially eaten by the largest larva in the group which after 2 weeks already had four legs.
This larva was removed after this picture was taken and is being reared in its own tank to develop further. Also, this minimises the risk of predation as the large larva could easily tackle the smaller siblings.
My task now is to raise and sustain this group until maturity and beyond. Wish me luck!
