I like to Make a flashback of this year, for al of us keepers and breeders of newts and salamanders, how did you do this year and what is your wish for next year.
To start with is, this year we lost 2 male's of our T. Shanjing's, the Alpha Male and another Male of the Group. Whe Have sold 55 egg's to the U.S.A and sold 30 juveniles to South Korea.
Next year we onely want to sale egg's.

I think the highlight of my year was that my Ambystoma tigrinum chose to breed in their out door enclosure. I sent egg 'blobs' to a number of people, some of which resulted in them seeing their own tiger grow from egg to a terrestrial tiger. I raised some too.
This year I am hoping they breed again, along with my maculatum ( last year I didn't plan to raise any of the eggs). It is looking likely that I will be homebound for a while, so this may well keep me out of getting too bored :)
It would be lovely if my Taricha granulosa would put some effort maybe into laying some eggs this year :). I'm also going to see if I can persuade my opacum to breed again.
Losses this year where a pair of Paramesotriton chinensis, they had been looking promising for breeding this year. I also lost the hybrid axolotl x andersoni . They where in outdoor tubs, despite having over flow holes around the top..a torrential rain storm washed them out. They must have bred though and now I have one lonesome offspring.
My dream this is year is to have some more different Ambystoma species .

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
