ThomasParticipantAfter some investigation I have to say that my new subspecies is N. v. piaropicola instead of N. v. louisianensis.
ThomasParticipant
ThomasParticipantBesides the eastern newts I have get a subspecies Notophthalmus viridescens louisianensis (central newt) since a week ago. The origin is Florida (Gainsville) but my animals are all breed in captivity.3 x cb 2015 and 4 x cb 2014.
Cheers,
Thomas
ThomasParticipantSince two week on land, the first F2 morph.
Cheers,
Thomas
ThomasParticipantF2 larvae
The first hatched at 10. April.
ThomasParticipantThanks, here is a bucket pic of the young newts from last year. Pic is from today, I have cleaned their tanks and the whole crew must move into the bucket for a while… 🙂 Now I have sorted them by size in three tanks.
Glad to say that the f2 eggs are fertile.
Cheers,
Thomas
ThomasParticipantThe first f2 eggs 🙂
ThomasParticipantNo, only this two loaches. But in the Amazonas magazine was a pic of the Vanmans. Not sure where I have it at the moment…
ThomasParticipantYes Matt. My larvae morphed from december till february iirc. After that they have a terrestrial phase about a half year before we can try to adapt them to water again. This adaptation isn’t difficult, but it is necessary to keep an eye on the juveniles. If they try to leave the water vigorously, it’s better to put them back in the terrestrial tank and try it again in a few weeks. Otherwise they can drowning.
ThomasParticipant🙂
And this is how it looks feeding with springtails…
ThomasParticipantThe result of 2015.
ThomasParticipantThe first four juveniles entered the water in september, and two weeks ago the last four do it also.
ThomasParticipantYes, I know a few breeder of them.
ThomasParticipantGreat! Very similar to my L. italicus.
ThomasParticipantI have seen captive breed I. a. cyreni at the annual newt meeting last month. And other subspecies of the alpine newt like apuanus, reiseri and veluchiensis. Sadly no Lissotriton.
