What does this mean? I always thought that there were only 2 types of Pachytriton. Do the letters represent other Pachytriton species, ones that are unnamed perhaps? Thanks for your help.

Yes, A,B, and C are just terms for undescribed species of Pachytriton that have shown up through the pet trade.

Nothing beyond C that I know of. They do not have scientific names and have not been officially described yet because they are from the pet trade and don't have proper locality data.

Hi,

if you're interested in Pachytriton "C", contact Henk Wallays (he's on the kingsnake.com newt board regularly), I think he's the guy who bred them. The metamorphosed youngsters of P."C" are looking like Paramesotriton, not like Pachytriton.

The synonym "C" was given by Burkhard Thiesmeier, chairman of the German workgroup Urodela.

Greetings,
Jens

I have only really seen pics of type C, but never a full pic of A or B, anybody have any pics of those. The picture from above doesn't show everything, but it is cool to see the female guarding her eggs!

    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?
