That is quite a year, keep up the good work Ian.
 
keep up the good work!
 
Great work Ian! The redback is really tiny, do they feed on springtails?
 
thanks for the comments, the redbacks are managing hatchling crickets Coen.
 
Congratulations Ian, you really are an inspiration. And i´m complaining because i have to take care of 6 morphs....
 
Nice work Andy, can I ask how you aquired your T. cristatus adults in order to get eggs?
Living in UK, if one were to own A pair, would one require a licence or any documentation? I would love to start breeding them for release in local ponds, there is an ideal pond in my local park with no newts living in it (was cleaned out and renovated with grant) Basicly I want to help the population (withought breaking the law). Any thoughts....
 
hi Sam...who the hells Andy lol..you are allowed to keep cristatus as long as they are captive bred, without documents, I can provide you with eggs next year or five juvies this year which will give you a 90%+ chance of having a pair.
 
no Alan..as with all animals under the new law you do not need papers or a licence for captive bred animals but you must be able to prove they were captive bred, i clarified this after lengthy talks with natural England..

Sorry that's what I meant to say ;-)
How would you prove it without papers?

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    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.
