Thanks

I can´t see the pictures. Upload them directly to the forum , please, otherwise only people with facebook accounts will see them (and yes, there are people who don´t have a facebook account ).

 

[TashaLou]

Apologies! I thought everyone would be able to see them, didn't realise you had to log in to Facebook! Here they are, hopefully they will work now!


P.S. I did think EVERYONE with internet had facebook though .

Edit: I do have more if these aren't clear enough or whatever

That´s a male Cynops (Hypselotriton) orientalis, no doubt.

We are scarce, and we are weird, but the facebook resistance movement does exist

Ahh, thank you! Pleased you said it's male, that's what I thought (and was hoping)! He's about 2 inches, so do you think he's practically adult then? I got him from a friend and she had no idea how old he was or anything; she had him for a few weeks, maybe a month or so. Also, do you think he looks an okay weight? I wasn't sure whether I was feeding him enough. Thanks again!

Also, I am glad there are some people resisting facebook! My university lecturers have facebook pages for their courses which they post info on :O!! Gone too far haha


Edit: Actually, he is more like 3 inches, I just checked

He's a bit slim, but he'll beef up nicely if you can give him some chopped earthworms. Feed every day until he gains some weight.

If you can get your hands on some waxworms, they´d work nicely too. A bit of an extra boost of energy to complement the nutrition from the earthworms would do him well.
