Nice pictures Henk.
Is the 2nd down up also pyrrogaster or did it get lost in here? I guess the others are, I don't know much about other species aside orientalis

How many do you have there? Got a feeling I see at least two pyrro's and than that mistery newt (to me).

Well the middle picture is a young Cynops ensicauda ( I only got 2) the others are all pyrrhogaster

I like the one with the blue nose

 

[henk]

Yeah he's quite strange and he holds all types of abnormal coloration ... even orange patterns on it's tail. Nevertheless he's not as shy as the others so I can make great shots of him.

Maybe the newts were planning on redecorating the tank untill he tumbled over (and in) the paint they bought?

I also love that blue nose, Henk

Here's one of my pyrrhogaster from today:

 

[henk]

Well your's not to ad either. I handpciked the blue onsed one out of a masive import now almost 5 years ago. In de Koi shop there was a large plastic pool filled with over 1.000 salamanders and I controlled all of them picking out quite some nice ones. I still hold a collection of about 80 different belly shots on this species (on slide)and alot of the animals found a home with a salamander keeper instead of a pond (tat's what they were sold for : to install in a pond overhere !!!)
