A few shots of Lissotriton vulgaris ampelensis metamorphs

[SludgeMunkey]

The first just started morphing last Saturday, now they are climbing out like crazy!

Well done!!
This is a gorgeous subspecies, trully stunning creatures, despite being so heavily underapreciated.

Good luck with the morphs, as i´m sure you know they are not the easiest to raise but i´m sure you´ll succeed

Keep us updated, it´s refreshing to see more breeding of this species.

Truth be told, I did not breed these, I just raised up some eggs I traded from Jake a while back. May be a few years before I pull it off myself.

I feel these are some of the easiest larvae I have worked with to date. I just kept their pond tank stocked with lots of live foods and let them do their thing. I am still shocked how small they are! from egg to morph these guys are the smallest caudate I have ever worked with. The first morphs are barely 20mm long!

Good pics, have you any neotenic larvae of L vulgaris?

 

[SludgeMunkey]

Doubtful.

And you are suggesting you can take shots of this salamander? I'm usually down to drink anything...but that even seems a bit odd for me.

Prolly get you pretty drunk though.
