Salamanders for sale in Aus

[clint]

There is an aquarium in Parramatta that is selling Salamanders. I bought 2 tonight. They are $180 though.

The manager claimed that she contacted the authorities and they advised that she doesnt need a license because they are closely relate to the axolotls.

Just thought you would like to know.

$180? Ouch! Do you know what they are? Tiger Salamanders, maybe?

 

[jennifer]

I would bet that they are metamorphosed axolotls. Do you have a photo, Clint? Or a description of the coloration?

 

[clint]

Yeah i think they are morphed axolotyls.

I will post some photos when i get home from work. I am having trouble putting photos on as the site says they are too big so i will keep trying. (new camera not sure how to work it yet).

twice i have seen them for sale and they are either pink or black with white/brown spots.

I dont think they are tigers.

Yeah $180 ouch. i had to talk her down from $199.00

I any one has email or wants to email me on clintandtelena@optusnet.com.au i can send you better quality pictures and even a video of the behaviour of the 3 of them when they were first put in there.

 

[clint]

also thats $180 each.

 

[TJ]
