Hi everybody!
I'm new here.
My name is Friso, and I want to keep amphibians as pets.
Before I even think of buying stuff, I must first know which species of amphibian I want to keep.
I have experience in keeping reptiles, but i have no experience in keeping amphibians.
The reason i'm here is that I want to ask you all something:
Which species of amphibian is a good starter species? I'd prefer a salamander of the Tylototriton genus, or Bombina orientalis.
What do you advise me?

Greetings,
Friso.
 
Hey Friso
I personally believe that Bombina orientalis is a good starter! I personally don't know the tylototriton genus however I do think that cynops orientalis are very good starter newts, also pleurodeles waltl I believe is a good starter newt.

Both of these are good starters. However, you will have a much easier time finding Bombina orientalis available for sale. If you want Tylototriton, you might have to search for a while.
 
Allright thank you!
I work in a petshop, and we also sell Bombina orientalis now, so finding Bombina orientalis will not be a very big problem

I think B. orientalis is a really good option for me.

Thanks for your help!

    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.
