The larger one is something like 11 cm in total. Slightly big for orientalis, or maybe not?
Why would you Kai think it wouldn't by pyrrhogaster? On the images I can find on the internet wolterstorffi has red markings on its back (like
http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=1111+1111+1111+0547). This animal of mine has nothing like that.
I actually have also a third newt, that is something "between" these two. It is more like the smaller one, but skin texture in not as rough, and back is slightly flatter. It also have small red spot on its side, one over both fore legs. I must later post also some images of it to my site.
This is getting interesting... I have asked this also earlier, but is there some litterature I should study to learn more about these species, and especially to learn to identify them. To my I they all look so similar
BTW: All three of them are living in the water all the time.
