Tylototriton verrucosus CB subadults

[wouter]

Here are some pics of CB T. verrucosus of the small dark form (broadhead-animals). One of the adult animals can be seen in the upper picture of this thread: http://www.caudata.org/forum/messages/13/45902.html?1133377056.

The animals were bred by me and raised by Mark Bakkers, he fed them very, very much. Result are these huge larvae (up to 120 mm!)

One of the first metamorphs:

It is really interesting to see that all T. verrucosus juveniles have light coloured dorso-lateral warts, tails and headsides. CB of the large dark variant looks almost the same as these animals, only the head shape is different.

Wow, great pics and I love tylotriton.org. Alex.

Nice pic's well done

Yes, indeed nice photos Wouter! I haven't had much luck photographing them myself.

I'm also curious how they look when they've reached maturity, as they still look quite different from the parents.

Thanks Alex for the compliment on the site, we do our best
