It is T .v. ophryticus everyone (compare them with the caudata central pictures). They are bred good in Europe for anyone interested. But getting them into good breeding condition is not always easy. Great picture Jean-Pierre!

My Vittatus ophryticus live in my garden. It's a place where they live all year long. It contains four pounds (500 liters).I do nothing special for them, they eat only what they can find. Males go to the water in September October and the females to February. To be in good condition, males needs a cold period, sometimes there is 5 cm of ice on ponds,it's not a problem for them.
