I'm going to photograph some tsuensis today if I get a chance. But I've seen them before and they're nothing like that!
 
From what I have heard there seem to be 2 populations in H; tsuensis onebeing ore orange (and this might be it altough this are juveniles at 2 years only) and a much darker colored form. Anyway mine came with some locality data, I may try to dig it up again if you're interested . these are not the animals I currently have however ((these are much darker unfortunatelly ,... bit I still like them anyway though)
 
Yes, my understanding is that they are divided into those on the north island and those on the south island. Here is an example of one that I am told is from the south island:

Tail of same:

This is supposed to be a northern variety:

I have never seen a tsuensis as beautiful as yours Henk

If I were to take a guess based on the assumption that the two varieties I just posted pics of are truly what they are said to be, then I'd guess yours is a northerner.

Hi Tim and Henk, those are beautiful animals. I'm going to add Tsushima Island to my list of "places I want to travel to." (Whoa! I'm not commenting on a Taricha thread

)
 
I think I even have exact locality data on the animals Tim, but these were also still young and maybe showed a more and nicer coloration then their adults.

    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
