Hi guys.
So I have what I have always thought to be T. granulosa, but according to this book I have ( maybe more than one ) granulosa are supposed to have their eyes in, so that they do not obscure the shape of the head. But my newt looks like it kind of does. I have only checked on one, my biggest female, but it is kind of confusing me. I think that I am too far north for it to be torosa, but I am not sure. Here is a range map for torosa:
I am in Washington, so I guess its kind of out of question, but it just kind of worries me. Is it possible there could be a separate population? I just want to provide the proper care you know?
Here is a picture of my newts, sorry, not a very good one, but its all I have right now.
Any thoughts? -Seth
