We examined Uludağ population of Triturus karelinii, which have not been investigated extensively, in terms of morphometrics measurements, ratios, features of coloration pattern. The study was carried out between April and May 2006 and a total of 43 individuals (2 juveniles, 16♂♂, 25 ♀♀) were measured. Mean total body size is 98.795 mm (87.78 - 109.81) for juveniles, 109.209 mm (89.07 - 125.12) for males, and 122.328 mm (90.35 - 156.50) for females. Sexual dimorphism was observed between sexes. Females were larger than males.
