A bunch of Triturus cristatus adults and subadults found close to their breeding pond under large piece of slate.This locality was in such a perfect condition only because located in a military area. I want to visit it this year and see how things has changed.<O:p</O:p

Cool find! Beautiful landscape shot. Hope things still look the same when you go back.
Although where I'm going this summer is out of range for T. cristatus, I'm venturing out to Italy and Spain and hope to see T. carniflex and T. pygmaeus

Good luck ! I was in Spain many times but I`ve never seen any native caudate species there. I`m especially keen on to find pleuros some day.
 
Pleuros would be awesome, I'm also really hoping for Salamandrina in Northern Italy
 
That will not be there, but I hope it stays.
About going to Spain, welcome, now in spring you have more opportunities to see them.: D
 
Well I got there two weeks ago. The pond itself still looks good. Unfortunately I did'nt have enough time to make detaliled searching so I didn't see any newts but any fish either.

That's a lot of newts under one piece of rock!! Reminds me of one huge log I flipped in the Smokies back in 2010 that had at least twenty or twenty-five Desmogs and Plethodon under it. Nice finds!

    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. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
