Salamanders

[Ewan]

Hi all I have been reading all the salamander threads on this site tonight trying to I'D it. Someone who replied to my For Sale add told me that it is either a Santa Cruz Black Salamander or an Alpine Black Salamander but I have a feeling its just a local morph. Does anyone know how I can tell if its a forced morph or infact a locale specific species. I have 2 females of the same type.

 

[Ewan]

Can anyone help me identify these salamanders?

Erm :|

Where did you get those from? Salamanders are illegal.

 

[Ewan]

I got them from a pet shop last year.

 

[Miss B]

Weird. What were they sold to you as?

lol

Weird. What were they sold to you as?

Salamanders!

 

[W.T.BUY]

was it sold to u as morphed axolotl as there legal.

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Looks like a morphed axalotl, could be wrong though..
These were for sale at living hell last year

 

[W.T.BUY]

how much did they set u back?? have u breed them???

 

[Miss B]

I dunno about that, W.T.BUY. I'm pretty sure it's also illegal to force Axolotls to morph.

Morphed Axo's aren't true Salamanders, anyway.

Its an axolotal. poor thing

 

[Daniel_Penrith]

i didnt think salamanders were illegal, ive also seen them for sale in pet shops

 

[Miss B]

They were probably just morphed Axo's then. Salamanders are definately illegal.

how much did they set u back?? have u breed them???

They were 200 bux each. The Mrs wanted them so we compromised and got them. haven't breed them no. i wouldnt know how, besides i think i have 2 females.

i have seen both newts and salamanders for sale, in fact i was in a pet shop yesterday that was selling them... and for a lot less than $200!

 

[arbok]

does it hurt for them to morph?

Its an axolotal. poor thing

 

[Ewan]

i need someone to tell me what they were not another legallity or morality thread. there is 2 or 3 of those already. does anyone know for sure or can you not tell if they are morphed or true?

 

[arbok]

soz ewan im not trying to turn it into morality, just curious. never even heard of axolotls morphing!

 

[Ewan]

no no i wasnt accusing anyone in particular.
