A. Tigrinum

[reid]

Can someone please post pictures of your A. Tigrinum?

 

[joan]

I'm not sure if these are A. tigrinum or A. mavortium, as the source is unknown.

 

[reid]

Thanks Joan, is there a way to distinguish A. Tigrinum from A. Mavortium?

 

[dane]

looking at pictures of the two I think that Ambystoma mavortiums are barred tigers

 

[jennifer]

Barred tigers are one (of several) subspecies of A. mavortium. I don't think there is any way to distinguish tigrinum from mavortium unless one knows where the animal came from geographically (or unless the coloration is very distinctive of a particular subspecies).

 

[reid]

What about size, can you distinguish them by size or are they the same size?

 

[reid]

And what size do they usually grow to in captivity?
