Triturus carnifex from the Istrian peninsula (such as these from Vidulini, Croatia) are genetically distinct from those in Italy. Currently they are classed as the same species (commonly called the Italian Crested Newt) but perhaps that will change in the future.

New additions to the collection - spotted salamanders!

The spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) is a mole salamander common in eastern United States and Canada. It is the state amphibian of Ohio and South Carolina. The species ranges from Nova Scotia, to Lake Superior, to southern Georgia and Texas. Its embryos have been found to have symbiotic algae living in and around them, the only known example of vertebrate cells hosting an endosymbiont microbe!

We have kept this strain of Macedonian crested newt (Metsovo, Greece) for 5 years, but never had any fertile eggs from the only female in the group.

This year we have more females that have reached maturity, so fingers crossed for some success. It is never a good idea to pin your breeding plans on a single animal of either s*x.

The females from this locality are particularly pretty as they often have a greenish marbling on their head.

Salamandra corsica.
