Paramesotriton maximum length

I'm not sure if alone the belly patterns are enough to pinpoint deloustali. We've seen various different belly patterns for example in chinesis. Some even didn't have balck into the orange. And I'm not entirely sure but I though I have seem some deloustali at HJ in Brugge that had different patterns as well.

Some other features that I have remembered by visiting HJ's deloustali setups were the braod flat head (impressive sight) and a much higher tail then the other species I had formerly seen (aside their total length).

They sure look quite impressive those animals from you Tim. If ever you breed them take good pictures, larvae of paramesotriton species differ and as such this might help you to pinpoint their taxonomy.

And by the way .. how do you get to have so much interesting links to articles I have never heard of before ??

Yes, I knew of the specimens in Zoological Institution in St. Petersburg, Russia preserved in a jar of 24+ cm in lengh. The species is P. guangxiensis. The exact specimens come from northern Viet Nam territories.
 
Guys here's pictures of one of my female deloustali.

AW: Paramesotriton maximum length

No, my other deloustali are less then 3 years old!
I got them as eggs from a Spanish friend.

Here you see my young male (2 years, 10 months) with my big female wich is older.

Re: AW: Paramesotriton maximum length

Wow, super picture. I love newt "pair photos". And this one also makes me thinking how the heck people can say "Paramesotritons are ugly" :) Those little dinosaurs are so beautiful!

    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.
