Hi,
I have some very old Spanish Ribbed Newts, from source, they are of 10 years old. And some website suggested that SRN has a lifespan of 8-12 years.
I have observed all my SRN males occasionally shake their body parts, sometime the entire limb, sometime only a single digit. And they can shake for minutes. So, I am wondering if this is a muscle problem of old newts, or a SRN males unique behavior. Is it possibly a behavior to lurk preys toward them? Or a defensive posture? Or a breeding behavior?
Thanks,
Ian
