Oddly marked C. e. popei

I've put 4 popei and the 2 orientalis into a semiaquatic setup. The smaller orientalis quickly went back to the water. Yesterday I spotted one of the popei in the water and he fed! They've all been feeding on bits of redworm, flour beetle larvae, and an occasionaly silkworm.
 
An update on the newt of this thread. At least I'm guessing it is him!

He's small compared to the rest and even though he has a good appetite he does not gain much weight. Should I be worried?
 
Thanks for the update, Joseph. He lost some of the orange, but he's still a very nice specimen, with gold in some unusual places (legs). As long as he's eating, I don't think you should be worried. There are always some that grow faster/slower. The slow ones do eventually catch up when they get to adult size.
