As you can tell, this little guy has a lot of personality.

Here's a more innocent shot of him

This is my other N.V.V. caught in the act of planning an escape route

hahaha! he is very funny in the first shot! And he has great colours
 
You have got to find the blueprints for their escape plan.
 
Is that its tongue in the first photo? If so, that was quite a lucky shot! Thanks for sharing.
 
Perfect timing, I've been trying to get a shot of mine doing that for months!
 
Yes, that shot was a lucky one! That is indeed his tongue.
 
Where did you get the N.v.v? I'm pretty sure they aren't native to B.C., but I've also heard rumors that they've been released into the area in the past and established themselves. Can you shine some light on their origin?
 
Nope they're not native here. I'm guessing they were shipped from the East because I bought them at pet store chain. Both BC locations carried them, and this chain is also located in Ontario and Quebec. Am I allowed to name the store here?

Origin of this species quoted from the caudata culture article: "This is the most common form in the pet trade and ranges from northeast Canada to the eastern Great Lakes and south through the Appalachians to Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia."

I have the saame ones there eastern red spotted newts right
 
Yes, that is a juvenile (terrestrial) red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens.
 
Great photo! Very lucky too... I have a hard time getting shots with their mouth open at all, much less that!

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
