Does anybody have any data concerning the distribution of T. carnifex in the UK ?

I know we have them here in Surrey at Newdigate, and at Birmingham.

I've heard of other Black Country colonies and Wales?

Grateful for any info.

I dont know of any UK colonies, but I do know that they have breeding carnifex at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (in a display tank) labelled as cristatus! They also have a female Triturus x blasii (carnifex x marmoratus) marching around in there as well, all listed as cristatus!
