Tylototriton verrucosus

[Bellabelloo]

It has now approx. 3'' in length and is far bigger than any of it's aquatic siblings.

Very cool, thanks for keeping us all updated ?

 

[Bellabelloo]

I think this one likes its food.

 

[Coastal Groovin]

I hope its a male and you get it to breed just like that. Then we can stalk it's offspring for months to see what happens.

 

[Bellabelloo]

It looks like the Golden one is adding some freckles, still no sign of morphing.

 

[Otterwoman]

That is amazing! I have raised hundreds of this species over the years, and I never got a white one.

 

[Bellabelloo]

It's hard to hide when you shine.....

What a stunning animal

I agree with Coastal,let it stay neotenic and see if its going to breed ,It will be really cool,hope the others don't pick on it

 

[Bellabelloo]

It is now about eight months old and just about 4'' long.
I suspect it may well be neotenic. It seems to have a different head shape with a larger forehead and smaller lower jaw than its siblings.

 

[frogman]

How is he doing Julia? I would love an update

 

[Bellabelloo]

It's doing fine... though it's little skinny legs could do with some serious bulking out ..

 

[frogman]

Haha, good to hear! You ought to set up a weight set in the tank and make sure he is getting his worm milkshakes for protein

 

[Bellabelloo]

Hiding badly amongst the weed

Wow this is amazing! Congratulations! I cant wait to see what it looks like when it grows up, will be very cool to find out! :grin: -Seth

 

[Bellabelloo]

The little golden tylo doesn't seem so happy at the moment. It has become less active and I am not sure if it is ill or is maybe starting to morph. The caudal fin seems to be diminishing a little.

 

[Niels D]

Really hope he's going to make it! Please make it!

 

[naeff002]

Very nice. Hope he will make it to.

 

[Bellabelloo]

Its looking much more its normal 'lively' self now. I still suspect that it is morphing as the dorsal fin seems to be very slowly diminishing.

 

[Yahilles]

The animal has almost no toes?
