Hi Steffen, Just checking, but isn't P.montanus considered a mud salamander and not a red? I was under the impression that P.r.nitidus was the blueridge red. Not having kept these myself, do you guys spawn them in captivity? Do you raise the larval stage animals in tanks? This is something that I never really thought of doing, but seems very interesting. thanks, Ron
