Hi All,

I was asked by a few people to post pics. Since I am new to the group and am frustrated trying to find places to upload pics, I thought i would post it here to the people who would probably be most interested in them.

Hope you enjoy!

Dave

Nice!!!
Are you keeping the dark and light lines separate, or do they just come out that way, like hair color?
Also, do other breeders keep them separate, or do light and dark interbreed? What is the standard of practice? I'm asking because maybe I'll be getting some shanjing myself ;)

The babies are kept together regardless of color. I do seperate the morphs by female when possible and I do split up large and small ones.

I used the term color phase, but honestly I do not know if this will stay that color as they age or if it is a result of age at metamorphosis.

I will try and post some more pics soon.

So, how many other people in the US are activley breeding this species? I know they are bred in zoos, but what about private individuals?

That is what I figured, though it is nice to have someone else confirm.

Hi Dave, I know the post is old, just wondering if you might be able to offer some advice on an issue at am having with some young T. Shanjing.
First is a shedding issue (I think) I will attach images, second is food options, as I am having a very difficult time acquiring blackworms…
Any and all advice is appreciated!!!
