Hi all,

A friend emailed me a link that he thought would interest me and I must admit I find it fantastic! :D

A new species was recently be named as Ziegleri's Crocodile Newt (Tylototriton Ziegleri), named after a Professor Thomas Ziegler (Cologne Zoo, Germany). The species has been described as being "54 – 68mm of length in males and 71mm in females, with rough skin and tiny nodules and bone edge on the head." and were collected from Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces in Vietnam.

New Tylototriton Species Discovered in Vietnam - Ziegleri's Crocodile Newt (Tylototriton Ziegleri)

Would be very interested in reading the Journals behind the discovery of this species (etc etc) so if anyone knows where to find them please let me know. :D

Kind Regards

TyloGuy

I had hoped to go get the paper today, but between paperwork and vehicle maintenance, it seems to be delayed AGAIN :p

Hahah :L Well let me know when you do finally get it! Where do you get your journals from if you don't mind me asking? :)
 
Frogeyes, Do you have the journal/publication to this species at all in the form of a PDF file? I would be interested in reading it :)
 
I have the pdf, send me a pm with your e-mail adress and I'll send it to you. It was regarded as T. asperrimus in the past. We saw and captured some in Vietnam a few years ago.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
