Here are some recent photographic captivations! Some of these guys have the gold dust visible already. Half of these guys morphed and some stayed aquatic. Its fruit flies for the terrestrial morphs and the aquatic morphs eat with the ones that haven't morphed yet.

I have 10 of them. These guys are double the size of Cynops Orientalis at morph. I'll post future pics when they all are done morphing.
 
Good work, Jaymes. Getting them to morph that large is a big plus. And I'll bet it's the larger ones that are staying aquatic.
 
Yes! Your right Jen, the bigger ones are staying aquatic and still eating like crazy! Jen, how long is the eft stage for this species in particular?
 
congrats they are wonderful newts, great pics too

Sorry for the delayed response. I used BBS/baby brine shrimp. I do remember using daphnia I obtained from vernal ponds. There prime food source has hatchlings were BBS. Later on when they were big enough they had chopped blackworms then full blackwoms.

If you go with BBS/baby brine shrimp try using the shell-less ones. I'm not sure about the availability of shell-less brine shrimp eggs but they've been the best thing ever as far as BBS.

heres a link to the shell less brine shrimp. 'shell less brne shrimp eggs' Search Results

I have some going on two years old that are still in the eft stage. Their aquatic siblings are twice the size and have bred once so far.

Have you noticed any changes in coloration? Read that fully aquatic ones don't develop coloring as well as their slower brethren.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
