Hallo everyone,
you think it is possible that the cross between two species of crested newt (specifically carnifex x dobrogicus) gives rise to a partially fertile offspring?
this may limit the loss of purity of the species in its native range in nature. In captivity it was found that hybridization between triturus marmoratus and triturus cristatus behaves in an only 12% of embryonic survival of specimens hybrids as compared with 45% of the pure species.
Between triturus carnifex x triturus dobrogicus there is some testimony among you?
the offspring has the same capacity to fertilize or decrease?
I'm curious.

Sorry for my bad english and sorry if I bored.
 
Quite a few hybrid's are fertile, especially caudata hybrids.
 
I know that T. carnifex and T. cristatus do hybridise to produce fertile offspring - it is a problem where carnifex has been introduced into the range of cristatus.

yes, to avoid losing the purity of the species.

    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. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
