Hello,

three month ago I got this:

Thanks to the breeder!
They looked good:

the first larva (two weeks):

Than they began to eat and eat ...
And they grow and grow ....:
4,5 weeks:

6 weeks:

Never saw such good eaters!
They are always hungry and sometime try to eat the other larvae.
Here at an age of 10 weeks, nearly 7 cm:

And the first began to morph:

Here it is on land, 11 weeks:

Hope you like my little story.

Thanks very much Paul for posting these pictures, they're great. Just out of interest, what method do you use to raise them? and how will you raise the morphs?
 
Very nice photo sequence. I also would like to know... aquatic or terrestrial (for the morphs).
 
Jennifer, Andy I have two tanks!
Those for the greater larvae (100*40*15 cm water) has a lot of plants, holes and islands!
Until now the morphs are on this islands.
I feed them earthworms.

Very nice pics, the package is interesting, good idea
 
Those are some awesome newts. Please posts any methods you used as I hope to raise some eggs as well.

Out of curiosity, how many survived out of the 16 eggs?
 
Dan,

clean water, temperature 19 - 24 °C, loot of food, separating from different large larvae.

16 eggs, 15 slipped, 2 where eaten by the larger larvae, 1 died while metamorphosis.
So I have 12 juvenile now!

Hi,

the result seven months after I got the eggs:

Real great newts!

Paul
 
Hi,

any idea what variety/origin they can be?
They all look very similar!

Paul
 
I think they are either Tylototriton verrucosus, or Tylototriton shanjing

Wonderful to see such healthy looking verrucosus, Paul. Well done on raising them successfully!

    Hello. I just noticed two notches, white small bubbles on the hind legs of one of my male newts.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail.
