This is a confirmed habitat in the foothills near Tokyo. H.tokyoensis egg sacs are normally found here this time of the year, only none were to be found on this day. There were plenty of frog eggs and tadpoles though. H.tokyoensis breeding appears to be somewhat delayed here in part by a recent 80-day stretch of no rain. That's rain, sleet and snow coming down in the first two pics. Might be able to show some egg sac pics next week though...

It took quite a bit of effort and time, but here is the shot I'd been waiting for an opportunity to take:

It's a night shot. My wife and I had searched all day and had almost given up hope when some good fortune suddenly came our way

Earlier in the day, a pair of H.tokyoensis egg sacs were found in a small pool of water at this separate location:

    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
