This little guy decided our barn would be the best place to hibernate, inside a pile of lumber. Little did he know, that lumber was being used soon. After moving stuff around (I think thats where the end of his tail went!), my father noticed him on the floor, picked him up and rinsed him off (I dont think the sal intended on the barn being dry when it rained). Dad brought him inside and shoved it in my face, much to my delight. So I took him out into the deep woods (okay, about 20 feet out) and put him in one of the many piles of debris and <font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font> that's out there. May it live long and multiply!

Due to size, I can pretty much be guaranteed this is Amybstoma laterale and not a Jefferson-Laterale complex. But there's really no absolute determination except DNA.
 
Beautiful photos Kaysie, I wonder if you will see the little fellow again next year.
 
Jeff, I cant take credit for the photos being beautiful. It was the subject that was beautiful. hopefully I'll find this little dude or his offspring next year. :D

    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.
