The domestic demand for salamander meat and body parts greatly exceeds what can sustainably be harvested from the wild. Commercial captive breeding operations so far still rely on the regular introduction of new wild-caught breeding adults, because captive-bred animals have proven difficult to mate.
Neurergus kaiseri, the Luristan newt, Kaiser's mountain newt, Kaiser's spotted newt or emperor spotted newt (not to be confused with Tylototriton shanjing), is a species of very colourful salamander in the family Salamandridae. It is endemic to the southern Zagros Mountains in Iran where it is known from just four streams.
Tylototriton shanjing, the emperor newt, Mandarin newt or Mandarin salamander, is a highly toxic newt native to Yunnan and parts of South China. It is sometimes seen in private collections, and is sometimes available for sale at certain reptile and amphibian-specializing pet stores and occasionally through captive breeders .

A preserved specimen of A. sligoi. It was described in 1924 (as Megalobatrachus sligoi) by Edward George Boulenger from a captive specimen held in the London Zoo.This individual was originally held in the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and may have originated from Guangxi or Guangdong Province, and was likely one of many giant salamanders captured from the mainland and placed in ...
During the 12-month wait as Hickory Nut Gorge green salamanders are considered for protection, Harlan said the best way for N.C. residents to help is simply to learn, care and take pride in the ...
As of 2018, the captive population is estimated to be approximately 300 specimens in two rooms, with a capacity to house 400 specimens at a time. [10] [24] The captively breed salamanders are measured, microchipped and paired for breeding by the Sisters. [24]
They are especially easy to breed compared to other salamanders in their family, which are rarely captive-bred due to the demands of terrestrial life. One attractive feature for research is the large and easily manipulated embryo , which allows viewing of the full development of a vertebrate.
