Anybody know what this is?

It's been the last one every time the guy puts it up at that ungodly price. I certainly don't think it's what he advertises it to be. If anybody knows what it really is, let me know.
thanks

Hi Raphael,
The animal on the picture is a juvenile Spanish ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl). On their website they are prized at 15 Dollars each. Their scientific name is supposed to be Paramesotriton chinensis, which in fact is a different species.

I seen that too, first they are $15.00 then next you see $300.00 AND THEN they post *BAD* pics so some stupid person will buy it.

maybe if he had 2 pairs of Neurergus strauchii and they were gravid and ready to mate, someone would buy them. At least they could lie a little right? If they're going to rip you off.

That's the same place that sent out these pictures of the so-called Godzilla newt:
