The California Academy of sciences has a current exhibit on the biodiversity of California, and guess who they brought out on display?

Is that a sonoran?

Nice pics, Pin-pin. But no Taricha? I'm disappointed...
 
If "sonoran" means "Ambystoma californiense" then you're absolutely right.

They had a few pickled Tarichas, but no live ones.
 
Taricha...boring? Yeah, right. ;)
 
Lovely tiger! Based on what I saw at the CAS, I think someone on their staff must be seriously into caudates.
 
Or Pin-pin has been sending threatening letters.

If I ever make it out Cali way, I know I'm going to stop in there.

Tarichas are lovely, I was surprised they didn't showcase them. The Hotspot theme emphasized endangered species, so perhaps that was why.

Jen, it is an amazingly well-maintained collection. ;) They have an incredible amount of things that they don't keep on continual display.

I'm working on getting photos of those C. wolterstorffi in the CAS collection Tim, really. ;)

    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.
