The animal in the first picture looks very much like the animals of Max Sparreboom in his verrucosus breeding article;
SPARREBOOM, M., 1999. Haltung und Nachzucht von Tylototriton verrucosus. Elaphe 7(2): 20-24. Johns' animals are also from the offspring of the animals described in this article I believe. In the article is mentioned that the animals would come from China...
These animals and mine look very much like the ones described from China in the T. shanjing species description (So also the neotype of T. verrucosus). So it could well be true. I bought mine in a store in Germany.
Although lighter coloured, the morphology of the animal in my first picture looks a lot like the two on this Thai page: http://siamensis.org/survey/s036.asp
Anyone able to translate that?
It would be very interesting to know where these animals are from inside Thailand.
