My daughter found this cute little fella in our backyard and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what type of salamander it is. I live on Vancouver Island, if that helps. Don't worry, we won't be keeping it. I just wanted to get some pictures so we could hopefully i.d. it.

Hi! I'm not positive, but I think this is a clouded salamander ( aneides ferreus cope). They are found on Vancouver Island. I live in Kingston, WA., so I have been interested in learning about the local fauna. They are cute!
 
I think it's Aneides vagrans (Wandering salamander) that's found on Vancouver. I have a few from northern CA, great animals.

I also thought that the former Aneides fereus from Vancouver Islands is currently been redescribed as being A. vagrans (same species form California). I have seen both , be it that with A. vagrans we only saw one juvenile. We found the vagrans at the foot from a tree, A. ferreus was found in the vincinity/between of stones
 
Yep, it's official: all Aneides on Vancouver Island are A. vagrans.

    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.
