hey, does anybody know anything or know any good sites about breeding eastern newts? How are they sexed, does the male always have a broader tail? Should they be removed form the large tank, put in a smaller tank in the basement,where its colder, and then put back in to breed? I would appreciate any information. Thanks!
 
They are sexed like most other newts...Look at there cloacas...They need a cooling period to breed...Or at least as far as i know.
 
Actually, they're best sexed with the male's hind legs. They will be larger than the female's. Also, during breeding season, they have black things on the toes and on the thighs, used in amplexus.

    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.
