Dear Jennifer,
after seeing all the nice pictures of breeding results. Here a picture of their native habitat in eastern Turkey. Land habitat is often very bare (due to wood cutting and over grazing of sheep). Breeding streams are slow to fast (deeping on rainfall and snow melting) running and the animals are mostly found in the deep holes (right below on the picture). We got the impression that the males already left the water, and that the animals don't stay long in the water. We saw mainly females in the water and found also fresh laid eggs.
all the best, Sergé
