I found him under a rock in a fast flowing stream and took him back. He has already eaten and feeds on mayfly larvae and other aquatic insects I collect for him.
Most Two-lines have few spots on their body and are mostly yellow, however, this individual has a metallic shine on his back and has a leopard spotted coloration. Really beautiful.
His enclosure is temporary. I will build a better one for him when I have free time to shop for materials.

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    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.
