John, I have a confession to make. That one you mentioned is now...mine
It all began when we saw the seriously ill one...
http://www.caudata.org/forum/messages/7/18687.jpg
...and my wife, who has always been trying to get me to scale down my collection, implored me to get the shop to release it into our care for free.
I told her they probably would only do so if we bought at least one of them since this was a shop I'd only been to once before and where I am unknown to the staff. I'm still not sure if I only said that as an excuse...
Anyway, the one at the left in the top pic is the same as the one in the second pic. The pic was taken in the shop so the one on the right is still there. I was pretty impressed with the thickness of the orange dorsal stripe on the one I acquired. Is that exceptional or normal for this species? Indeed, it does seem healthy and is eating well.

No, it's not too unusual. They all vary a bit. Far more common than a very spotted Cynops ensicauda popei. Lovely animal. How is the sick one getting along?
