That's a really spectacular animal, Tim. Is it yours?

The belly pattern is very interesting indeed. I love how the red and the gold colouration contrast in the first pic!

Hi Nate, Will, Danny.

Yes, it's mine. I haven't added any pyrrhogaster to my collection for a long time, but when I saw this one among some at a local department store, I couldn't pass it up for obvious reasons

I have a couple more with some gold coloration on the vent -- all Sasayama type -- but not as spectacular as this one.

Wow that picture from the top angle looks interesting. The skin has a greenish hue to it. I wish for my local department store to start carrying these newts also. Right next to the electronics would be a great idea

You sure are lucky Tim!

Here is the above newt (on the left) and another Sasayama in their new set-up, both seeming to have put on a little weight since I got them:
