Bonjour a tous!
My name is Artiom Lisachiov, I'm from Novosibirsk, a city in a Siberian region of Russia, 3300 km to the east from Moscow. Here, pet shops offer only a few caudata species: P.waltl, C.orientalis, A.mexicanum, and very rarely - P.labiatus. So my collection consists mainly of animals from Moscow and St.Petersbourg - bought there or gifted by friends.

Cynops cyanurus - parents and their children on different stages of metamorphosis. These are november photos, now the offspring (6 animals) is kept by Boris Timofeev. Now I'm trying to breed them again, and the male has breeding coloration, but the female ignores him.
Triturus karelinii. He was very cool, but he died because of unidentifyed illness.
Now I have another cristatoids: Triturus db. macrosomus and hybrids between T.c.c. and T.k.k. They all are a gift from S. Litvinchuk.
Siberian salamanders, local fauna. They are captive born, bred by one my friend here in Novosibirsk.
Babies L. montandoni and M. alpestris from B. Timofeev.
These alpestres are not mine now, but I keep their brothers\sisters. Now they are fully aquatic, 6.5 cm long, at the age of 1 year.
Montandoni are around 5 cm now in the same age.
And L. helveticus, also 1 year old juvs from Timofeev. Mainly aquatic, but spend much time on the plants near the surface, not on bottom. The males are starting to develop caudal filaments.
P. hongkongensis, a pair, received in last friday.
