I have some pictures to show of the 0.0.7 group of C.e.p's I got from Duncan, You can clearly see the two oldest I got from him in the late spring and the 5 youngest I got in late summer.

Wow, now that's something I love to see, C. ensicauda popei overseas that are not WC imports, that have been bred in captivity and spread to others. Some nice-looking ones among them too. They also look plump. What are you feeding them?
I couldn't help but notice the magazine, Danny. Workin' on them abs?!
Terry, did you get the breeder to confirm that your newt is from Tokashiki? It sures looks Tokashiki-ish!

Hello Tim,
The breeder whom offered me the newts took over the batch of newts from another hobbyist. All I know is that these animals were first brought in by a dutchman named Frits van Leeuwen. The papers she had as I asked her were print-outs and documentation in dutch showing the species range but not exactly the location of where the first specimens were obtained. Species range of Yambaru and Tokashiki were indeed mentioned. These animals were first unknown but then were later identified by Ad Bouwman to be Cynops ensicauda popei.
My newts ( the adults) are adults from possibly different ranges. One of which could be Tokashiki and the other, Yambaru. Unless a genetic sampling is done, there is no way to be sure. My male candidate may have descended from the Tokashiki race.
The resulting juveniles have been so mixed in their parentage they are beginning to take a varied pattern and some even have developed patterns on their tails! (refer to the blur photo above). One of my juveniles has the orange colouration which extends to the tail! I'll post a clearer photograph soon.

Tim,
For the 5 youngest, I have them on a diet rotation that changes every 2 to 3 days that contains chopped up compost worms, thawed blood worms, and microworms. The two oldest I have on a diet of thawed blood worms, chopped up trout worms and compost worms that are cut in half. As for them abs, they are a work in progress, but Im trying to work out the 'guns', so someone call the plumber cause the 'pipes' are bursting!
hahaha
