just happy ot make the shots. Photo-technically I don't find them to be too good , but from a species side ... that'something else

Before you ask : no I do not have the animals, just made some shots (crusing while I took them though ... if that all makes you feel better)

Yes, ... this is paramesotriton ensicauda.. sorry laoensis.
 
Above everything if you are standing in front of those guys .. your hands get itchy... crazy no ?? Anyway they are close to 10 inch large and charcoal black. I still have other shots but these are not so good... well that's for later though.

Wow... then they are the largest Paramesotriton!
 
OK Paul that may be just a bit too long : one of them actually measured 22 cm (I thought 22,5 cm). But I've seen georgeous / larger deloustali at the same place ...
 
Ok, finally some shots of this exceptional sp. Thanks for sharing them in this forum.
 
Well seemingly I have to correct something else, the parasites are no leeches but mites. Aparently a totally new species. Both the laoensis and the Ha Giang deloustali were loaded with them. the Tam dao not at all
 
Those are superb looking animals! Is anyone breeding them in captivity?

I'd like to shake that mans hand in the photo. Anyone who goes herping in a pair of flip-flops is ok by me...
 
No breedings so far, since the animals just arrived . Altohugh being there I was able to see a male tale waiving to a female. The tail of the males is somewhere like the Neurergus strauchii tail color : white /blue rather then totally white as we know it in most other paramesotriton.
 
Soemthing else was that when I observed the animals, some of the females had a quite long tubercular shaped cloaca... a bit like Neurergus kaiseri , but not as long, so maybe the laoensis could lay eggs in stones rather then plants (but that's a large part of speculation now)
 
My previous post seems to have disappeared...
*Gasp* they are beautiful animals...they do indeed start your fingers itching...

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
