About a year and a half ago, we got some rare newts. We got two different kinds, cousins. We got a group of Neurergus kaiseri and Neurergus strauchii. We experienced some amazing results this spring. The N strauchii produced!! I (Tim) have been very busy raising little newts. To my knowledge, we are one of only 2 or maybe 3 people ever to get them to produce in captivity. They are amazing newts, and a lot of fun to keep. Here are a few photos of what they look like.
The adults, they are about 6 inches.....
The newtlets started like this.....
Then this....
This.....
Now they have arms and legs.....
And finally, fully through metamorphosis but still retaining their gills.....
Now their gills are most of the way gone. They have been a very fun project. I do have some available if anyone is interested. PM for details.
