I promised pictures of my morfs a long time ago, but I never got to it. So here's a reminder to myself that I have to take more pictures once the batteries of the camera have reloaded.

I'll write more comments on my morfs too, but feel free to ask questions already.
 
I find it hard to take belly shots without help, but somehow I managed to take this one. I really must remember to ask my girlfriend for help as my morfs show a great variety in patterns.

Very cute, Joeri! Here's a photo I just took of a couple of my C. pyrrhogaster morphs.

aww, cute. Mine still have yellow bellies, but they just morphed.
 
What should I do for my larvae. One is really close to morphing. I have a slate rock that sticks out of the water. Should I provide more land. Perhaps a slope. I just dont want my larvae to drown when it morphs. I want it to be able to get out of the water.
 
Thanks Joeri! I have been waiting to see your babies for the longest time. They look super healthy.

John a slope is a good idea.
They should be able to get in and out of the water fairly easy. Don't expect them to stay out of water right away. But once they explore beyond the water surface they tend to stay there soon. When you notice they don't go back into the water you should have a new tank ready with more land and little water (with easy slopes). Or you could try to keep them aquatic like some people do, but I have no experience with that.

Here's a picture of one of my 3 plastic tanks containing c.o. You can see they can get in and out of the water easy. In both parts there is food, but most still eat on the land area.

Here's one of my bigger morfs. When he backed after the first flash, I could take a shot of his yellowish belly. Looks like he/she didn't eat enough artemia

Thanks Pam, Jennifer. I'll probably post some more later.

Cool. Thx for the help Joeri. Your morphs are so cute! I want mine to morph now. lol. I will change up there tank so there is a slope in it. What do you feed your morphs on land? I was gonna get pinhead crickets and I have some fruit fly cultures going for my Poison dart frogs, so I was gonna use those as well.

Sounds good. Try some white worms or better yet chopped nightcrawlers too.
I got mine to eat frozen bloodworms as well now, I feed them with tweezers and leave some extra on the same spots.
 
Impressive series of pics, Joeri

They look so healthy and well-fed!
 
Very nice Joeri! Healthy, happy, little ones. Thanks for update.

Thank you all

Long live nightcrawlers, springtails, white worms and frozen mosquito larves. That's their diet right now. (often with some extra vitamines and calcium)
 
Congratulations! Those do look like healthy juveniles. Makes me miss mine just a bit.

Joeri: I agree with all the above-congrats on raising these guys! I think mine are a little smaller than yours-but they will catch up ;). What kind of vitamin supplement do you happen to be using?

Nice!

They seems to enjoy staying on land than in water..

Mine seldom enter water too.
 
Joeri,
What you feed your newts?

Mine eat frozen bloodworms and freshly molted
mealworms. They only consume them on land.

I mainly feed them chopped nightcrawlers and frozen bloodworms. Sometimes springtails and white worms. 90% on land as well.
When they were smaller I also gave them fruit flies.
