Young T.Dobrogicus pair

[End]

A week ago i got a beautiful Triturus Dobrogicus pair, they are CB 09 but i forgot to ask how old exactly they are , im thinking just a little less than one year old .
the female is 11,5 cm (4.5inch) and the male is 12 cm.
The male showed interest in female (tail fanning chasing ect) and his crest is getting bigger every day , obviously i don't expect to see any eggs at such young age, but this behavior still interesting to see.
hope you guys enjoy the pics( many pics)

Cute little guys. I definitely love the when the males crest up, the reason why I got the species in the first place. Looks like a wonderful pair and I bet they love the setup. Thanks for sharing.

Those are some beautiful dobros and a very beautiful set up. I too have dobros and they bred successfully and just under a year of age, so dont rule it out. Triturus mature quite fast.

Hey End. Cool pair. I Just got one this week too your female looks so strange i would ratter say that that was a Carnifex female!! Believe it! Dobro females are much more brown than those. So more one reason to like that one! Not every days we see a female so black... Well they are young too i guess it can get slightly more brown...Anyway congrats!

It´s common in T.dobrogicus to find both males and females with yellow dorsal stripes just like T.carnifex. The difference is that it always disappears when they reach maturity.
I heard it´s more common in T.d.dobrogicus and those look like they are the nominal subspecies.

My juveniles had yellow dorsal stripes. They dissapear quite quickly though. I like the dorsal stripe. Not all dobros are brown. One of my females is more of a grey color, the other females and both males are brown though.
