I've been keeping an eye on this light T.karelinii larva for a while now. At first it just looked lighter than normal, but now it is obviously special.

Just so there is no confusion, I plan to keep this one and it's parents/sibblings and let them breed next year and hope to produce a white race of this species....just to piss off the newt racists! Enjoy :)

We've got cristatus like this breed it against a wildtype for best results

That's the plan. I've kept both albino cristatus and flavistic carnifex and have heard about the higher chance of weak offspring when crossing two light animals. I wouldn't be able to cross this with another light one anyways because it's my only one this color. It should be interesting to see what happens.
 
Interesting post. The one I have is very similar, so far its been very slow to develop though. ;) :)

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
