Our collection of breeders for 2025
eurydactylodes agricolae
We are proud to present our breeding pair of Eurydactylodes agricolae: a male produced by us from pure European lineage and a female produced in the UK from pure UK lineage. By combining these unrelated bloodlines, we aim to strengthen genetic diversity and reduce the risk of inbreeding. Offspring from this promising project will be available in the future.
Eumeces schneideri
Our pair of Eumeces schneideri (Schneider’s skinks), originally from the wild, has been successfully bred in captivity. In 2025, we achieved a breakthrough, discovering a method that allows these skinks to breed reliably every year and even multiple times per season. This marks the first time Eumeces schneideri have been produced in such consistency. From 2026–2027, their offspring will also begin breeding, establishing the world’s first true captive-bred lineage of this species. A major step forward for reptile breeding and conservation.
Tylototriton shanjing
We are proud to add Tylototriton shanjing, commonly known as the Emperor Newt, to our breeding projects in 2025. This striking species is famous for its vivid black and orange coloration and robust, armor-like skin texture. Native to the highlands of Yunnan, China, Emperor Newts inhabit cool, humid forest environments near streams and ponds.
Our breeding group is maintained under carefully controlled conditions that replicate their natural habitat, with a focus on stable temperatures, high humidity, and clean freshwater access. The goal of this project is to contribute to long-term captive breeding efforts and reduce demand on wild populations.
We expect to have the first captive-bred offspring available in 2027, marking an exciting milestone for our collection and for responsible amphibian keeping in Europe.
