awwww......i want one....or two....or 10...are these bred in zoos or have their captive breeding been established anywhere? i am told by glades herp that on the rare occasion that these do come in they fetch 500$ each and sell out very fast.
I think we are the first Zoo to breed them. The occasionally offspring that show up at Glades are surplus lab animals.
They are very territorial and if all goes well can be kept in pairs although we recently had to seperate them and only reintroduce the males on a monthly basis.
Lab animals? That's odd. Surely there are more frequently seen species that are more likely to be used for research than this awesome blondie.
Ed, do you know if they are used as a model for something or are the ones Glades gets from studies actually OF the organism and not just some process the organism demonstrates or the kind of cells it has?
is this species form Sao Tome? I saw a distribution map of caecilians which had Sao Tome coloured in. it also had what i think was either Mauritius or the Seychelles marked on there. Is there a species on those islands?
Yes, they are from Sao Tome in west Africa.
It is being breed in Germany as well. I have being in the house of a german colleague while I was at Gersfeld meeting and he show me his adults and juveniles of Schistometopum thomenses. It is a really rare creature. Greetings
Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation
Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
