Stunning, Paul. Do they retain that colouration throughout their lives? I haven't seen this species available yet (of course I'm referring to wild-caught imports). I don't like the idea of wild caught animals but at the same time I find myself conflicted because I would like to see this species ;(.

On a slightly different note, does Miss Miller (livingunderworld) endorse posting photos from her gallery on other web sites (i.e. they load from her server but appear here) ? I don't think she has noticed yet but I wouldn't be surprised if all of those photos you've been posting here become "X". Then again she does require that all uploaded photos in her gallery can be used by her as she sees fit so maybe as compensation to you she'll allow this. I hope so because some of the content of this thread is in her hands, whether she knows it or not.

Viele Grüße,

Hi John!

.... Do they retain that colouration throughout their lives? I haven't seen this species available yet (of course I'm referring to wild-caught imports).

We don't know it, because this are the first breeding of P.laoensis.
But in the meantime I see, that the red colour on the back becomes more yellow/white - like the adults.

I don't like the idea of wild caught animals but at the same time I find myself conflicted because I would like to see this species...

My the same and I was critical to myself, when I got my adult pair!
But now I breed much more than 200 from one pair. After metamorphosis all are doing well. Now I am sure. It wasn't a mistake!

Hi all,

I just made a summary of my Gersfeldpresentation.
I also tried a translation to English ...
If someone is interested and can correct it or make a better translation I can send the text and then make it available for Urodela community.

Hi Paul, your English is pretty good so I bet it's fine. I'm happy to check it over: aartse_tuyn "at" hotmail.com

Hi Paul, if you are interested in posting it to the internet, please let me know. It could go on Caudata Culture.

Thanks Mark for your corrections.
Now I made a link, look here:

@ Jennewt, it was a presentation on our AG Urodela meeting in Gersfeld.
So I first made a link on www.ag-urodela.de
But if you want, you also can take it for caudata culture!

Hi all,

here a new photo!
What you see is a young P.laoensis, a lot of snail eggs and some just slipped snails.

The stone usually is on the eggs, they slip and can be eaten,
