Well, due to a massive and reluctant scale down of all my amphibains, the only gorgeous sals I have left are my 1.3 adult gallica. These beauties are massive, very chunky and all different.

Here are the females:

This gorgeous chunky girl is about 16cm long, 4-5cm wide and posesses lots of paler, yellow half moons on her belly. She eats a ton a day and never refuses food. (a good sign to know if they are ever ill!)

Another lovely chunky girl at 15cm long, not as wide or big built as the first one but she eats just as much. Lots of yellow moons on her belly too, aswell as the most amount of red around the glands and head.

Here's the last one of my trio of girls, this one being the biggest, chunkiest and most food consuming girl I have! shes huge. Measuring 17cm long, about 5 cm wide and more like a male than a female.
Size comparision to my hand:

Here is the male of the group. This big guy measures in at a whopping 19cm, nearly 6 cm wide and is totally huge in all aspects. He has an attitude and appetite to match his massive size, and sits on the logs waiting to be fed first. He has no red on mica marbleing like his females do, but instead is covered with loads and loads of yellow half moons.
Just to give an estimate on size for the male:

Will have to double check the locality of these guys, definatly from Portugal though. Enjoy!
 
Hi Aimee
How do you know that they're from Portugal? The ones I've seen there always had some red spots. The variation in this subspecies is enormous though.

    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.
