A few shots of the mountain variety of Triturus pygmaeus and his habitat. A very green and robust form of pygmaeus if compared with other varieties (on my preceding thread).

That male pygmaeus is impresive! I can´t wait for my juvies to become aquatic...:S
anyway, great pics! I don´t know how you find such amazing places hehe
 
Interesting again Ruben, I guess that this is the northern distribution limit of T. pygmaeus? I didn't known that they occured in the Guadarrama!
 
Hi Wouter

Yes, it's the northern distribution limit of T. pygmaeus in Madrid: Overlapping with marmoratus distribution area occurs in some valleys/slopes of Ávila and Madrid provinces.

    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?
