This morning I hit the woods in Northern Illinois with Cichlidjedi in search of Blue Spotted Salamanders. We managed to find three of these cute little guys, along with some toads and wood frogs.

My second-favorite species. Nice find. I love these guys. As captives, they're such bold eaters!
 
Well, even in the dead of summer here, they sure are plentiful. When you find them, you sure find them. Over the past two days we have found 14 in less than three hours. Tonight I found a few fresh morphs under the same log as the adults, was kind of weird. They were tiny, an inch and half at most!
 
Nice finds Greewok. I am not to far from you and dont seem to share your luck. Just A. laterale you found?

Yes, no other Sals found unfortunately! I will take some Habitat shots this week for you Mitch.

    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.
