    Ommatotriton ophryticus - juvenile male mortality

    P Perhaps keep the males separate from the females . I know from experience that males tend to be prone to rickets so calcium supplement is important.

    Tylototriton Uk verrucosus/shanorum

    Hi . I have a group of adult verrucosus (normal type) that seem to only be spawning male offspring. Has anyone noticed something similar?. My suspicion is that it’s because the animals are highly inbred , and seems to be a trend with Tylototriton in general. Does anyone still produce any...
