Hi!
I'd like to know if anyone is breeding p.poireti and if they are doing as fine in captivity as p.waltl. Are they endangered in their natural habitat(Algeria, Tunisia)?
 
They're not endangered as far as I'm aware. They are bred in captivity in Europe and they do very well (and are easy to breed).
 
Hi everyone
I have heard that p.poireti might be separated in two different species. P.poireti from algeria and p.nebulosus (not sure if this is the correct name) from Tunisia. Any updates on that? Is it true?
 
I strongly feel that I should propagate the tunisian subspecies then, since I'm half-tunisian and everything...
I'm thinking about taking on new newts, my waltls has really gotten to me...
I've been looking around and come up with the following: cynops ensicauda, tylotriton verrucosus, triturus marmoratus and pleurodeles poireti/nebulosus.

Are any of these "difficult" species? I mean to say that I see my limitation as a beginner in this field...

I would be keeping them in an aquatic setup(at most semi-aq.) at temp. between 18-25C. I would prefer to buy from breeder. Size wouldnt matter...

Now how easy are those to come by?

I live in Sweden and Im pretty much prepared to go get them if needed, Its a long term project.
 
The only ones around are Tunesian as far as I know. Algeria is hard to get in anyway...
Species are not separated; there will be a paper published in the Journal of Biogeograpy dealing with the fact that within 'poireti' two distinct genetical lines can be seen. But only on genetical data you can not describe a new species...so.
If you seek poireti you should be in Germanny or England; there some people have animals from Tunisia.

    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.
