Hi everyone I'm not sure if anyone else would be as excited/interested as me to see these but I'm sharing just in case :D
My newts are almost all heading land bound for the winter so have various pools and feeding dishes etc in their "forest" set up and in two of these on the same day in separate areas I found these wonderful specimens.
Just for fun I’ve circled one of them where I thought it looked like a cute smiley face :p
I left the shedded skin for 24 hours and no one returned to eat any more of it so I presumed it was safe to remove and clean their dishes.
Enjoy!

Neat! When I had my N. Viridescens it was always fun to find the intact skins in between rocks.
 
I was fasinated by them, especially the whole one, it was like he'd just slipped it off like a onesie haha.
 
They always make me think of saran-wrap newts.

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    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.
