Tomorrow lay larvae photo, turned out very much)))
Offtopic: if the moderators do not check my messages so long, it would be easier to spread operational information. I really hope that this will end soon

Re: My group Siberian salamander

Start larvae from egg sacks

after the release larva sits on the bottom and a few days practically no moves. Then, the larva starts to swim and hunt for starter feed (Artemia nauplii). Intetesno feature is that at this age they are inactive and do not actively hunt, so you need to give a lot of food and carefully remove residues

Unfortunately I can not edit your posts. Therefore, I ask the moderators to add topic name Latin name of the species that would not violate the rules of the forum (Salamandrella keyserlingii, maybe Salamandrella keyserlingii tridactyla)

Fantastic!

I have a group of large juveniles. They are very slow growing! How do you keep yours (setup, temperature, food) and how large are your breeding animals? I have read very different figures on breeding size in this species...

How cold did you allow them to get before they spawned?

Thanks Chris, I tailed amphibians are in a country house, so it is easy to arrange the winter. Now I have about 25 adults and more than two hundred larvae. It's Far Eastern subspecies, the nominal subspecies of this year I do not get divorced. In winter, the cold room on a floor of about 8°C, with the same start spawns 12-14С, eggs develop for two to three weeks (depending on temperature). Larva grows quickly enough if it translated into feeding oligochaetes and bloodworms. Artemia and Daphnia is given only to the first week

excellent, today specialists Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg confirmed the that this salamanders Schrenk!) that I have in my collection two salamander species - Salamandrella schrenki (Vladivostok) and Salamandrella keyserlingii (Siberia & Ural)

 

[froggy]

Timofeev and Rafaelli's account of breeding S. keyserlingii says that the animals must be cooled to around 0 degrees C for them to breed - does S. schrenki require less cool winter temperatures or is such a cold winter not actually necessary?

C

 

[Alex Marikoda]

Boris - a very reputable person for me, but ... many animals we still breed a little differently many animals))) I think that the tough wintering - very high risk of dying animals, especially in Siberia and try to hold the temperature of 3-5 C I do not know how it is right now will be able to compare the two species and to clarify the conditions of detention, breeding and rearing of juveniles

 

[Herpo vulgaris]

Wow,

Nice!!! I have so much respect for these guys. They can survive in permafrost for such a long time, It's pretty incredible. No wonder they survived dinosaurs


Keep us updated please
