Cynops Cam!

[john]

Always pushing the envelope, me. I just set this up after hearing people asking for such a service. For now, it's on pilot during European Day time. Enjoy .

Very nice John!

 

[alan]

Kudos! I'm not aware of any other newt cams

Very good John, will we be seeing more species of newt cam shortly? How about setting one up on your Tylototriton so we can watch the young developing to follow on from the embryo photo series thread?

 

[john]

Well, this is a personal "project", not an official Caudata.org thing. Did anyone see the newts get fed about 90 mins ago? There was lots of action - there are 12 newts in there after all...

 

[pollywog]

No I missed it, only just logged on, when is next feeding time?

 

[john]

Should be same time tomorrow (7:30 pm UK time, 2:30 pm Eastern US time).

 

[ralf]

What a nifty idea!

 

[benjamin]

I agree Nifty is just the word I would use to describe it.

 

[pin-pin]

The newt cam idea is not new, but John has taken it to a nift(ier) level.

I'll definitely try to catch the next feeding time.

great stuff good work john

 

[benjamin]

I just saw one shedding.

 

[john]

Heh, I just looked in the tank and yes, there's a skin near the front (you can see it on camera as a blur on the bottom left).

 

[john]

Feeding time is in just under an hour by the way.

 

[john]

Oh dear, the newts have gone political...

 

[colin]

is the 'shedding skin' a political statement?

 

[joeri]

checked in twice today already, but never got the chance to see a single newts

I'm seeing the skin though... and the message you added

 

[joeri]

wohoooooooo!
One came in front of the cam, just after writing the previous post

btw: I'm seeing a newt in the tank behind this one too - lucky me

 

[kim]

oooo is that a tail I see????

 

[john]

I don't know, but I can see a verrucosus in the tank behind.
