<i>Tylototriton verrucosus</i> - young adults

[john]

I have two of these near-adult animals, a male and a female, from last year's breeding escapades. These three photos may be of the same animal, I'm not sure. They're quite brightly marked for "dark" verrucosus and this is their debut online. I'm also showing off the capabilities of my new camera...

Awesome detail John! So what camera did you choose? Did you go for the Canon, the Nikon or the Fuji you have talked about?

Hi Jesper,

Thanks for flattering my ego

. I bought the Nikon D70. I also happen to have the Nikon 60 mm AFD 1:1 macro (or as Nikon call it, "micro") lens.

That's quite some level of detail there, John! You must be pleased with your new acquisition. I know we are!

Hi Mark, thanks

Wonderful. Your animals' eyes are different to my verrucosus's...

Hi Chris,

That's interesting considering yours are descended from my "grandmother" (mother these two in the photos) - different grandfather/father though. I think more brightly coloured dark form animals have more eye pigment too.
