Taricha Granulosa and Cynops Orientalis

Okay, I'm not great with a camera, but when I get ahold of one I always try to take some good picture of my newts! Here are some photos of my taricha granulosa and cynops orientalis. They aren't great, but I think there's a pretty good one of each species.

Hope you guys like these. I'm always really jealous of the pictures people post, but I think these are pretty good this time.

They're really nice pictures! Taricha are my favourite newts, they have such great personalities.

They're my favorite too, Ester.

Thanks. In the picture with both of them, the smaller (but fatter) one (underneath) was only about half that size last winter.
