ok more taricha pics here-this time of the 2 subspecies of T torosa. the torosa torosa is from orange county one of the farthest southern reaches of its range where there are no granulosas to hybridise with. note how pale yellow the underside and top of eye are. there arent much pics for now i'll get more later. now that i have a flash it will be easier to get good ones.
doesnt he just look sooooo happy?
just for comparison here are 2 pics of my new morphs of the sierra subspecies.i call them 'sherbert newts' cause they are the colour of orange sherbert. these spent a year as larva, just now morphing at a very large size, some in the tank are over 4 inches! the torosa torosas are also still larva but not even 1/2 their size!
ane here is a pic of 2 of them-you can still see some baby spots on the lower ones tail.
