My recent Salamandra larvae :)

[natimus]

I thought some of you might like to see that I am doing more CB now than before...
My newest babies from December. Was I the only one who didn't know they could jump? CRAZY:wacko:

[natimus]

Very nice, look nice and healthy.Good pics too.

Which sub species are they, they look like S s salamandra?

Let us know how they do, i have some S s crespoi larvae at the moment.

thank you Ben, they are indeed S s salamandra from Czech republic if I am not mistaken, I have been wanting salamandra since I first started reading field guides...20 years ago?

Yes, i know what you mean, salamandra are stunning creatures, and they have good characters, always nice to see C/B salamandra.

Great work.

There was recently a large import from the Czech republic. Are you sure you bred these and didn't just get a female that was already carrying young? They have live young months after they mate so she could have been collected right after mating and then dropped the young when she was ready.

Hi natimus,

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but what is that [plant?] they are hiding in?

Thanks,

oh boy, yeah I found that out the hard way...

yes vlue, it is indeed sphagnum

Lovely babies.
Just a little note, those are not larvae, those are metamorphosed juveniles. I´m only saying this because it´s kind of confussing...

 

[SludgeMunkey]

Very very cool. Excellent to see juvies like those.

Time to add another species to my "want" list...if I can convince the wife...
