I recently bought two S. salamandra larvae and I'm havinga bit of trouble identifying which is closer to metamorphosis. It's hard to see any changes considering I see them everyday, so I'll be posting weekly updates (or bi-weekly) here for myself and anyone else interested. I would also appreciate if someone could give me some advice on raising these guys, as this is the first time I've cared for larvae.
Week 6
These guys are already about six weeks so we'll start from here. (Note: this is not the container that they're kept in)
One of them is noticeably smaller, yet darker than the other. The other has gradually grown larger (fatter) but doesn't seem to be turning dark yet.
