Pachytriton labiatus

My guy Slimy. I think he's so cute and chubby.
Though maybe he's a girl.
I think someone had wanted to see more pictures of these?

Hard to tell by the pictures but a handsome looking newt indeed.

Very nice.

I just love Paddle Tail Newts! S(he) is a pudgy little one but very adorable. Keep posting Slimy!

Some nice pictures of your P. labiatus, Dawn! Mine is also a bit of a porker. These guys love food and they certainly stay a nice size.

I thought I'd include a few pictures of Eleanor, my P. labiatus as it seems like the right spot.

I love these newts!!!!

Hi Abrahm.
I see Eleanor came out to pose. Nice pictures! I have to ask you what you feed her, How much she will eat at a sitting and how often you feed her? These newts are sweet but are very pudgy.
We'll just call it healthy shall we? Your camera does a fine job taking pictures I would say. Please keep taking them & Eleanor seems to like to pose now & then.

Eleanor is fed regular earthworms that I get from my local hardware store. I feed her about two to three times a week and she gets a whole worm at each feeding, uncut. That's usually a 2-3 inch worm and she slurps it up like spaghetti. Oftentimes it doesn't even get a chance to hit the bottom

I know she'll usually take an extra whole worm. I usually feed her more in the summer when temperatures hover around 70F in my newt room. Right now temperatures are closer to 60F so I feed a little less.

Eleanor is quite the poser. I used to have a feeding dish in her cage that I'd drop worms into. She would spend most of her time in that dish waiting for food.

Nice P-newt. Good and fat. I see I am not the only one that keeps a P-Newt in a planted. Nice pictures guys.
