Christian - My marmoratus turned out to be all female... a strangely common problem according to other posts on this forum. The male above was Morg's, which he kindly sold to me.

Great pictures, those are some really green marms!

Nice photos, Mark. You take some incredible close-ups. Which newts produced those "sweets"?

 

[william]

my guess would be the pleurodeles

Of the seven I raised to adulthood only one turned out to be male, and I consider myself lucky!

Makes me wonder if there's a variable (temp, water's ph, etc) that causes the offspring to become predominately female.

Hi Francesco - Yes, that is a shanjing, around 6/7cm in length
