OK I am starting a cage with some Chinese Fire Bellies and I am not sure on what kind of habitat and stuff they need. The pet store's cage didn't look sufficient for the salamanders, and I wanna know what kind of things they need (ie food, habitat.....) thanx 4 ur help!

Cage?

a) CFBN's need a TANK, not a cage. Supply your newt with sufficient water (mostly) as well as landspace (floating lillypads, rocks breaking the surface of the water, etc)

b) DONT put a heater in the tank, keep it below 70 degrees.

c) the best food for these newts are frozen bloodworms, you can order live worms off the net tho...live is the best option, usually.

Read some of the articles on this site for good info. This is merely the gist of it.

    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.
