Hi from Molch

[Molch]

Yoohoo,
I haven't posted in a while, mainly because I got bored with the internet, haha. Would rather spend time with newts and dogs than on the web. But all the newts are fine; I've had offspring of all species except the strauchii; "the girls lay but the boys don't spray", har har, so all eggs have been duds. This winter I will hibernate girls and boys separately, hopefully that'll get the boys more excited come springtime.We'll see.

I have a neotene alpine newt, now almost 2 years old. A female, I think; adult size now, looks like a mini axolotl. Is that unusual in alpine (apuanus..) newts? Am curious...

Will post pics next week; traveling currently.

I'll try to be good and post more again.
cheers!

Hi Molch, I'm still pretty new on here, but I read lots of your threads and they normally make me giggle!
It's nice to see another C. pyrrho keeper back online, I think we're a dying breed a the moment.

It's Molch Stark! I thought the north had devoured you
Glad to see everybody is doing well. Neoteny, specially facultative neoteny is fairly common in alpines, it's among the species of newt that are the most prone to it. However, it is imperative that we see pictures, you see, because....reasons....

Welcome back

thanks folks; pics will come next week. Gotta take some good ones of the neotene..
