At the moment I have;

5.5.1 Cynops pyrrhogaster sasayama
1.3.10 Tylototriton verrucosus Clare/Ummi dark strain
0.3.0 Ichthiosaura alpestris apuanus

This year I also raised lots of Triturus cristatus and Lissotriton vulgaris from eggs for my nature pond. I released them as late stage larvae at the end of the summer. I also took in eight adult L. vulgaris that were loosing their pond.

I used to own just one Tiger salamander and a juvenile California slender salamander. Since my last post on here, I have lost the CSS, but I got three Eastern newts and a pair of Taricha granulosa. One day I want to own a Pachytriton newt, doesn't matter what type they are, and Ommototriton. Of corse Ommatotriton I'll never get here, and Pachytriton may be possible, but definitely WC. One day I want to go to either Europe or back to America, so it should one day be possible

If you ever have any C. Ensicauda you'd part with. I've been looking for years. I have 13 species now, and would offer trade or $.

Wow, incredible Re: What kind of Newt/Sal(s) do you have?

Hi,

Nice thread. I am new to the hobby and have had an interesting experience learning about them...

Eastern newts-they eat anything I put in there
Marbled newts-cool terrestrial guys
Ribbed salamanders-i thought I did good water changes but 3 went on me before I did a terrestrial set up
Alpines-I was doing good until 2 acrobats climbed out of a hole in my lid (expensive lesson)

I am humbled by the real hobbiest here. Not easy, no.

Currently I have two leucistic axolotls (one female, one too young to tell), a male wild axolotl, and a female melanoid axolotl (who we were convinced was male due to size, and who gave us a surprise the other month).
