What do you recommend?

[Cliygh and Mia]

What species do you recommend? Ambystoma Mexicanum, Tarichia Granulosa, or Pleurodeles Waltl? Honestly I am leaning closer to The rough skinned newt, Tarichia Granulosa

 

[sde]

I vote P. waltl. The reason being, because the T. granulosa will be wild caught, whereas the P. waltl will be captive bred. Plus P. waltl is a great starter newt.

Well I thought there were going to be some CB ones later this year, a couple people have bred these guys recently, and I like their look

Agreed, although I'm a big fan of P. waltl and have never kept T. granulosa so I'm a bit biased.

And compared to Axolotls I find P. waltl to be a bit more unique and there is something more appealing about them.

Oh, I thought you were thinking of collecting some. Even if you find CB T. granulosa, I would still recommend P. waltl. A much better starter newt, and the juveniles are much easier to raise I imagine.

Oh, and I'm not interested in breeding, so if your saying a certain species because it breeds easy, I don't really care about that

No, I am just saying P. waltl are a better starter newt, and since most likely CB T. granulosa or P. waltlare sold as juveniles ( from the reliable breeders, anyway ), P. waltl are most likely easier to raise.

Oh, I wasn't talking about that, I was just stating something

The only thing that I see about ribbed newts, is that I don't see listings for them that often. In the for sale section, I only saw one listing, and it was for letustic morphs (I really like the wild type morphs than other morphs) and even then they were pricey ($40 plus shipping)

Joshfrogz72 has some leucistics listed at only $20 plus shipping; I'm finalizing an order for a couple from him. I'm also surprised that they are so unpopular, yet widely recommended as great pets. Another forum member on here told me he didn't plan to breed his again, because they sold so poorly last year (and I think his were going for like $15!). You never see them in pet stores, either.

I see P. waltl offered all the time, and usually they're only around 20$, if you want something easier to find, its definitely not going to be T. granulosa, and I imagine they won't be super cheap since they aren't bred very often. A. mexicanum is a good option for something easy to keep, that looks different, and is available nearly all the time.

Go for axolotls or ribbed newts. They are inexpensive and easy to keep, and since you have only a small amount of experience with caudates you should avoid something that may be more tricky, like T. Granulosa.

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

I am now thinking the axolotl, because it is easy to find for sale and easy to care for

 

[michael]

In Georgia the waltl will contend with any heat problems better than axolotls. Check the classifieds for het for leucistic ribbed newts. Their should be some up there soon.

 

[Niels D]

P. waltl!

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

Do you have some available?

 

[Autumncrossing]

I thought you were getting rid of a bunch of animals... Why do you want more?

[Cliygh and Mia]

More complications arose, so I decided to wait until I can actually sell/ship. Either that or I will keep them

3" plus het for leucistic Pleurodeles waltl for 20.00 ea.

I'll have a few sexed adult P. waltl later on.

 

[michael]

P. waltl het for leucistic.
