Another Mystery Salamander

Maybe you can get her a friend at a nearby creek.

In my opinion I think her favorite food would be blackworms. Mine like termites and tubifex worms best. But five minutes ago I fed one of my two males an entire baby earthworm. Pinheads will do well too.
 
OK, here are some more pictures of Mistrey. I think this will be all the pics because she's so wiggly I'm afraid she'll fall and get hurt.
This is the best I could do on her tail.

Mystery looks real nice and plump. Yep, the stripes are broken down the middle of the tail. Congrats on solving the case of the "Mystery" Salamander.

Cheers!

The key thing to look for in all NY desmos is the tear drop under the eye... if it has the light colored tear drop, it`s a desmos. Looking at how well defined the stripes are, and the slender body, it looks more like E. bis. I also don`t see the tear drop in the last pic, even though it`s not the greatest pic. You can see the tear drop very well in john`s pic, it`s the light coloring that goes from the back of the eye to the end of the mouth.

    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.
