I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to get my newts to breed. They are chinese warty newts from what I have read they need lower 60's for a while to breed. Is this accurate? And how would I go about getting this temperature for them? And is there anything else I need to know before I even try to get them to breed? I have 1 male and 1 female, just so everyone knows.
 
hi,
jenni prompted me a few days ago to respond-it just takes me a while sometimes. i have bred them before, i had an old pair (the female has since died) and all i really did was open the window in winter to get them down to temp-they were down to 50 though. when you see eggs remove them-if they hatch out they will eat them up faster than you can count them-the hatchlings are black. i morphed them fine but then got to a point where i just lost them 1 after another (it was also during a move) the morphs are very shy and not aggressive eaters. the females will lay on elodea-so that part is easy. just feed them alot on make sure they get down to temp and they should do the rest.
 
sounds easy enough thank you.
I look forward to trying that this winter.

    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.

    sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
