Hey!
Ok, during my free time I put together a list of different species of salamanders from the family Hynobiidae. Now this list all the species that I could find that are kept in captivity. Through different websites and add postings I found 22 species that are kept and sold in the hobby. 9 genera in the family so far I could only find species that represent 7 of those genera. I am hoping that by putting this list together it will serve as a tool for the present and future in many key areas of keeping these slimy friends of ours. I ask that if anyone knows of a species that belongs to the family Hynobiidae (AKA Asian Salamanders) and that are kept in captivity please tell me, so that I can add it to the list. Also after I post this thread I plan on creating care sheets for each species so if anyone has any info on the care for any of the listed species (Temps, Humidity, Housing, Breeding, etc...) feel free to tell me.
Hynobiidae
- Batrachuperus pinchonii
- Batrachuperus tibetanus
- Hynobius amjiensis
- Hynobius retardatus
- Hynobius boulengeri
- Hynobius dunni
- Hynobius kimurae
- Hynobius leechii
- Hynobius lichenatus
- Hynobius naevius
- Hynobius nebulosus
- Hynobius nigrescens
- Hynobius quelpaertensis
- Hynobius setouchi
- Hynobius tokyoensis
- Hynobius tsuensis
- Liua shihi
- Onychodactylus japonicus
- Pachyhynobius shangchengensis
- Ranodon sibiricus
- Salamandrella keyserlingii

See you soon!
