Here's a photo of one of my juvenile Banded Newts T. v. ophryticus.I couldn't find many photo's of Bandeds on this site so I thought I'd add one.Hopefully I'll be able to photograph an adult male in breeding dress one day.

Also gave me an excuse to mess around with the camera again!

I think I speak for everyone when I say you should mess around with it more! Awesome picture Damian!
 
Here's a pic from last years breeding effort. He was a happy boy.

that's an awesome picture, banded newts are so pretty! They're like an enhanced version of Triturus Vulgaris. ;)

Are the foods on the bottom blackworms BTW?

Excellent photo David,Hopefully some of my juveniles will turn into adult males like this one sometime in the future.Any way of telling the sex of juvenile Bandeds?
Here's a couple more shots of mine

Hi Damian,
Once again great pics.
Did you breed these your self?
 
Hi Mark
I didn't breed these myself,I got them from Martin Davies last year and they are doing very well.
I'll post some pics of my setups (as promised) at the weekend.

Hi Damian,
3 questions i've got to ask you:
1)How big are these wonderful juvies?
2)What are you feeding them?
3)What type of moss is that in the first pic?
Thanks in advance, Mark

Mark,
My juveniles vary in size from 4-10 cm,they are being fed on chopped Earthworms,Aphids and other small insects such as Springtails that are in the moss when it's collected.I'm not sure of the name of the moss,I found it growing on an old wall nearby.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
