This morning after feeding my mudpuppy I was just watching her as I sometimes do, when I got the idea to grab my camera. I planned on snapping a shot of one of her long "yawns" that I see sometimes. I thought I might get lucky. As I was waiting, thinking of "yawns" I started to yawn. My eyes were closed during that long yawn but when I was done yawning (this is all taking place right in full "view" of my mudpuppy) I opened my eyes to see the mudpuppy finishing up her "yawning". And they say yawning is "contagious". I know that mudpuppies have poor eyesight but I thought I'd just make a quick post on the silly subject. All in all I didn't get a picture.:D
 
WOW, WHAT AN EXCITING DAY!!!!!:violent: :ufo: :crazy: :smile:

Koala, cool it with the smileys. There is also no need for such gigantic font. That was very interesting though.
 
Sometimes in the morning when I get up, I walk to the bathroom or kitchen before I put my glasses on, and since I have three cats, sometimes they have thrown up in the night and I step in it. But since I have started with the newts, now I always have to think, Oh, I hope that slimy thing that just squished under my foot wasn't an escaped newt!!
 
Dawn,

The way I can tell it is cate regurge and not newt is that cat regurge squished between the toes. It is one of the most grotesque feelings on the planet.
 
Well, I haven't managed to step on a newt yet but I've stepped on lots of cat puke. It's not much of a gross-out for me anymore.
You don't think a newt would squish between the toes?

(remember, we're trying to wreak havoc while John is gone)
 
I was hoping you'd think my joke stunk. (get it? get it? "reek"! Oh, I can be so annoying!)
 
In my thankfully limited experience of accidentally stepping on amphibians they tend to pop and flatten :uhoh:.

I’ve got my eye on you two. Any reek of havoc and I’m setting Ed on the pair of you :D.
 
Haha:D Your joke isn't dumb Dawn, afterall I was the one who spelled wreaking havoc wrong in the first place. Come one Mark I was going to hae fun! Hehe,:rofl: I think its so funny how the caudata community gets along. You got to love it!:p

    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.
