Pachytriton ID to confirm?

[Herptiles]

Hello everyone,

I had posted on the Cynops forum because I originally suspected I had a C. pyrrhogaster, but was was enlightened and informed that my new "firebelly" is a Pachytriton, most probably P. labiatus:

Thank you in advance for any input!

You are the proud owner of a Pachytriton labiatus newt. If you haven't yet seen it, check out the care sheet. These guys tend to be quite territorial and aggressive. They should be kept alone or with others of their kind in large enclosures with plenty of hides.

Fabulous, thank you. I'm setting up his enclosure today, 10 gallons.
