I wish you and them the very best! Observe them often, I am never let down by mine and they quite often surprise me with their antics. There are many users that know much more than I about salamandra on this site but feel free to contact me if ever you have questions.

Hello schmiggle how are your little ones doing? I've been thinking about salamandra subspecies identification quite a lot recently and I find it very perplexing. I have a line of fastuosa which look like true representatives of the subspecies. However, reading some of the specialist field guides eg 'The tailed amphibians of Europe' by Steward, I get an uneasy feeling as the description does not match reality.
Take a look at this FR September-November 2007 France Switzerland Italy Spain Portugal you will need to scroll down. There is massive variation within a subspecies which is more marked than variation even between different subspecies. Then, there's the issue of off-Spring resulting from parents of different subspecies. I wonder if anyone has confidence in this. |
