Cool coloration in male C. orientalis

[rodrigo]

I noticed my male cynops was looking weird yesterday...Actually when i took the pics the weird coloration was fading away...
Two hours later he looked normal again.
I think he looked extremely good with those weird faded colours so i thought about sharing a pic.
btw....the pic is crappy...

I think that is pretty normal for alot of males. My male was a kind of light coffee color most of the time, and never anywhere near black.

He looks like he is looking for something in that photo!
