Porky looking guys!

 

[JWERNER]

That is so cool!

By far one of my fav's out of all the amphibians despite what some say about boring personalities.

Really nice photos Louise, can I make a request for some pics of your kongkongensis? I am currently on the look out for some to go in my newtless 30 gallon tank, I'd love to see yours...

Very Nice indeed

Hi Louise,

They are fantastic!

These really are lovely animals....I have 8 tadpoles from the Guru Ian Riggs, that I am rearing at the moment. I hope we are succesfull with them and they grow to be like the healthy ones you have.

Mike.

I seen one of these guys at a local shop! Finally seen one in a shop and I wanted it so bad, it was HUGE! The bad part(s) was that it had fungus, I didn't have a proper set up, and they wanted allot for him. I felt so bad for him, all he had was a very small ceramic dish of water and dry moss.

And he was pissed! He bit the guy showing him to me pretty bad..lol serves them right. Took the guy by surprise even tho it couldn't have hurt him.

Nice photos, Louise! If you have high-resolution copies, you might want to submit some to the calendar competition (deadline coming soon!):

Great shots. Jwerner - Now who could ever accuse a shanjing of having a boring personality?? Seriously though, mine slow down a bit during the winter but are otherwise beggars the rest of the year.

boring personalities ?...they must have plastercine models, mine are far from boring..

Nice newts!
Out of curiosity are they imports? The one in the first photo looks as though it has a small sore in the center of it's head? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[louise]

Thanks guys. The 'sore' on its head was just a wee drop of water.

Mike-Good luck with your babies. Ian, I'm sure, has been a great help!

Lims-I've got some baby hong kong pics up at the moment in the paramesotriton section of the forum, I'll take some new adult shots, just for you!

JWerner-I haven't found them boring at all, they have very definite personalities!

 

[Jake]

Sorry about the confusion it just looks red around the outside, but I guess water makes sense.

 

[JWERNER]

OK guys, I was misinformed as I found out when I saw that one latch on to the guy at the pet shop.
