What a great picture! I just want to hug the little guy. I will look up this species for fun info. Thanks!

Lovely photo Tim, I always seem to either get out of focus or they decide to move off mid picture, I have some lovely clear tank shots with a blurry tail just disappearing off the edge.

Thanks! Pamela, this is the ultimate beginner's newt as far as I'm concerned so do look it up.

Jeffrey, use a digital camera, take repeated shots of the scene you're trying to capture, and then choose the one that came out best

P.waltl in amplexus:

The male on the bottom is misperforming amplexus by amplexing the female's back legs

Tim, I liked that top photo so much that it has already been added to the CC caresheet:

Thanks Jen. It's always a thrill to see the pics being used at CC

I noticed the T.kweichowensis ones today while introducing your site to a Japanese friend.

By the way, what's the secret to getting a copyright (c) to show up using your keyboard? I have a Japanese keyboard and can't find this mark anywhere. Clipping and pasting it somehow does not work with my software...

Tim, Jeff has a digital cam, and maybe 3 out of every 100 shots turn out. He's just a bad photographer

He also had waltls that didnt know what they were doing, and the male would amplex the female backwards. Didnt know her butt from her face. One really dumb male? or one REALLY ugly female?

Tim: Do they all have that yellow rim on the tail?

 

[joeri]

Are you into Pleuro's now too Tim or did you take the shots at the petshop?

If you use word it is very simple. Insert symbol and in that same popup you can make a bind for that (c) symbol. eg: AltGr + C

@ Joseph: I have 6 pleuro's: they all have the yellow rim

Joeri, these four Pleuros are the newts I've had longer than any others, the first I got after moving back to Japan from Thailand some 3 years ago. I just hardly post pics of them, that's all

They've bred for me twice.

About the (c) mark, thanks for the help but I didn't quite understand those instructions...could you reword your explanation? I know the Alt key but what's the AltGr key?

I'd love to visit your zoo one day Tim, unfortunatly you don't live next door (so to say)

Alt is on the left of my spacebar, AltGr on the right. But you have a different keyboard, so maybe you don't have it. AltGr is the key I use when I need a third symbol on a single key, like '@'.

If you have microsoft Word:
open Word - insert symbol - find the (c) symbol - click 'create shortcut'
My Word has automaticly ctrl+alt+C as a default for that symbol. It doesn't work on this forum though. But what you can do is copy-paste it, also to paint; I have done that before.

Hahaha, mine have that too. Or when one male is in amplexus with the female, a second male joins in by grabbing the males backlegs. They make crazy sights
