Hi, Everyone

I just thought i'd share my little babies with you. I got these three C.e.popei on Dec.30. They are such feisty little newts. They have been eating fruit flies and small crickets and one of them has eaten bloodworms from tweezers. They live in a 10 gallon tank with a coco soil mix, a small waterdish and a hide spot made from planter dishes.

Hope you like them.

beautiful pics Ben. They have a lot of white spots, very nice. Thanks for sharing
 
The little sprouts are grown from commercial finch seed. I find they help to keep the soil clean as long as they are removed and replaced before they decay too much.
 
They sure have a nice coloration. Normally there´s two drab ones for each pretty one, you are lucky xD
 
Thanks Azhael,
a friend of mine has a colony that are notorious egg eaters. These three little guys happened to be hidden well enough. Then one day he noticed a larva and upon closer inspection, found three.
He raised them until they morphed and then traded them to me. So, yeah I'd have to say I'm pretty lucky. :D
 
I'm envious, I can only hope that once I have the basic newt keeping/breeding skills down we will have a few more types of newt here.

    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.
