hello, i have some red spotted newts that were produced lat year. basically just wondering if it is too early for them/ too dangerous for them to reproduce this year. the male is in full breeding colours etc and is grabbing the female like they do. but they are way small still.

any ideas
 
I think I would separate them: the courtship will be stressful for the female, and the male won't eat while he has sex on the brain. I'd probably keep them apart for one more year at least.

    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.
