I briefly popped into see Marc at Dartfrog this weekend. He has a fabulous newt room with some really interesting species. I took my camera and grabbed a few shots although some species were very uncooperative :mad:. Apologies for the poor quality of some of these – It was a flying visit and there wasn’t really time for posing newts.

what a fantastic set of photographs :) Thanks for sharing them :D
 
Very good for being "quick pics", Mark. At least the shanjing eggs were willing to sit still:rofl: Thanks!
 
Great shots Mark, did you make some photos from the tanks too?

Mark has some really nice species, i'm sure he has the only/one of very few colonies of many species. What species is the dicamptodon again?
