So i finally have my very first T.dobrogicus morph and it´s a whopper! At 9,5 cm long, it´s amost 2,5cm bigger than it´s parents when i first got them. Hell, it´s mother is around 13 cm long...i can´t help but think this is a biiiiig morph. I´ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time :)

You can still see the gill buds as it hasn´t yet fully finished the process. It has taken this larva almost 6 months to reach metamorphosis, and i´ve really enjoyed the whole process. There´s a younger sibling who looks like he is going to be just as big (unfortunately while on vacation i lost several larvae, presumably due to cannibalism). The two of them beg for food just as their parents, and it´s been soooo easy to take care of them since they were 3cm or so...they even take pellets, which i think has contributed to their well development and good size.

Anyway, here is my pride and joy :)

Very very good news!

Congratulations!

What a big morph! It appears to me it has been a good week for many folks with morphs!
 
Thank you :)
It´s that time of the year Johnny xDD
 
Nice looking T. Dobrogicus. I produced some this year aswell. I just recently visited a friend who had recieved some larvae from me and his morphed not long ago. I think it was about 1 month ago, and his male already has a slight crest and it seems his crest is getting larger as the days past. Keep us updated!
 
My largest adult female is almost 8 inches (20cm). My smallest adult is the male which is 6.5 inches long(16.25cm). I have one morph as well. He is 3 inches(7.5cm). My biggest and oldest larvae is 4 inches(12.5cm) and isnt too close to morphing. I have too many larvae since I'm only keeping 1 or 2 and I have 40-55 larvae. I am going on vacation soon. I hope my larvae dont eat one another while I am gone.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail.
