Great pictures. A treat as us US keepers don't get to see much of the Speleomantes.
Thanks,
Travis

great pictures, were they taken in Italy or France?

Wonderful photos. I'd like to see some close-up shots of those odd angled, webbed feet, perfect for climbing. I reckon CC will be updating it's species entry pretty soon...

Great pictures, Francesco, it isn't often that you see this genus featured.

Thanx guys!

They come from 2 different locations in central Italy

Mark and Mike
Sorry to disappoint you but I didn't take any pictures of their habitat and feet. Next time I go there I will take some shots of the place

Great photos of any interesting looking salamander...do they remind anyone else of the ensatinas we've got over here?

 

[francesco]

I found some pictures of the place where the s. italicus was found. There were also some salamandras

Hello Francesco!

Very beautiful pictures of habitats! I always love to see them in a natural setting. Thank you for sharing. The last pictures of Salamandra was my favourite. Is Speleomantes an arboreal species?

Greetings, Terry

 

[william]

what subspecies is that salamandra? terrestris?? unusal pattern!

 

[francesco]

giglioli

 

[william]

ahh cool!

 

[sergé]

Nice Francesco!
Could you post a more detailed picture for me of the gigliolii? Looks like a specimen from Liguria/Genova area...am I right? (if you don't want to give away the location please answer me private).

Sorry guys I was wrong identifying the second salamander. It's not a S. ambrosii but a S. italicus. So they're both S. italicus
