A visit to a newt room

[Mark]

I briefly popped into see Marc at Dartfrog this weekend. He has a fabulous newt room with some really interesting species. I took my camera and grabbed a few shots although some species were very uncooperative . Apologies for the poor quality of some of these – It was a flying visit and there wasn’t really time for posing newts.

Paramesotriton laoensis

Dicamptodon

Tylototriton kweichowensis

Tylototriton kweichowensis

Chioglossa lusitanica

A very uncooperative Eurycea lucifuga

Salamandra - bernardezi I think

Ensatina eschscholtzii platensis

Ensatina eschscholtzii platensis

Ensatina - these guys have been in captivity for over 10 years.

Triturus carnifex

Salamandra algira

cb Aneides aeneus

Hynobius dunni larva

Salamandra larvae - algira, I think

Some recent morphs.

T.shanjing eggs

Pseudotriton ruber – These guys just wouldn’t stay still for a photo!

Wow! Awesome photos! I really liked that ruber pic. You don't see pictures of them underwater very often.

Very good for being "quick pics", Mark. At least the shanjing eggs were willing to sit still:rofl: Thanks!

Great shots Mark, did you make some photos from the tanks too?

Lovely photos and collection.

Kieron: here's a handy tool for you, an online EXIF viewer. I popped the first photo's address into it and here's the result:

You may never need to ask what camera (or settings) again!

Mark has some really nice species, i'm sure he has the only/one of very few colonies of many species. What species is the dicamptodon again?
