Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Let me know if you'd ever part with that female or know where to get any Isthmura.

No problem! Fyi you probably know but they are VERY hard to breed, only 2 people in the U.S. have ever had success and they produce little offspring. But if you treat them for disease and get them comfortably established them I think you would have decent success. Also people think that since they are "tropical" they don't need to be cooled for winter but is far from the truth

Then where would one suppose more stock would come from?

Sadly all are illegally smuggled (even the ones zoos buy), me personally I am strongly against buying them. My only exception is if they were already kept by another owner who is passing it on to a new owner. Same situation for Bolitoglossa dofleini.
Besides Newts and Axolotls you can expect that almost any salamander you buy will be wild caught unless you personally contact a breeder.

Let me know if you will ever part with your offspring, I'll be in line. Taricha are awesome and want some but I don't want to buy them WC, I know Micheal Shrom one year has cbb Taricha granulosa but I missed the chance. Also I do agree with light cycles, that is why a lot of people in Europe have success with outdoor Ambystoma enclosures.

Jay Sommers is one of them, but he is basically impossible to really contact. And he is considered one of the most advanced US keepers for caudates. He was the one who said there was only 1 other person who has bred them but he didn't release any names and honestly I have no clue who it could be. There is only 1 person besides Jay that I know who has bred latin american salamanders and that person doesn't work with Isthmura of any kind.
