[josh]

[jeff]

Again, try the caudata culture section of caudata.org.

Vietnese???

 

[jennifer]

I've never heard of a Vietnamese newt, sounds like an inventive pet shop name. Here is a page that distinguishes the various types of firebelly:

i was given a "vietnamese firebellied newt" which turned out to be a paddle tailed newt
http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Pachytriton/Pachytriton.shtml

it could also be one of the various warty newts
these are the most likely,

hongkong warty newt http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Paramesotriton/P_hongkongensis.shtml

fuzhong warty newt

spot tailed warty newt

chinese warty newt
http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Paramesotriton/P_chinensis.shtml

if it is none of these then ask again, it could be a rarer one!

If you check out Henk Wallays site he's got a picture of a vietnamese Paramesotriton sp see if it matches up.

Plus he's taken some of the most amazing amphibian pics i've ever seen.

Jen,

You can't tell me you've never heard of the Vietanmese Fire-bellied Puffer Newt (C. imaginarious)?

 

[john]

oh ya those Puffer Newts are awesome. They get all puffed up when they are scared or mad and shoot lazers from tiny poors in their skin.

 

[jeff]

John,

I have some CB C. imaginarious for sale if your interested. Only $499.99 per newt. Quantity discounts available...

 

[benjamin]

Hey, you guys all remember my Europeus loadofcrapicus (here's my male just to remind you)-

Well, they just layed eggs two weeks ago-

I will be selling them for 1200 a piece in six months time.

 

[jeff]

Benjamin,

I'll trade three C. imaginarious for your E. loadofcrapicus and your dog (Sorry, but I'd like to see him eat your dog). I Must warn you though, the lasers from imaginarious are quite deadly- you must deflect them with mirrors...
