On the way to a Renaissance Faire this weekend, we stopped at the Syracuse zoo. Here is a picture of their caudate collection: a Tiger sal, an Axolotl, and a Hellbender. I never saw an axolotl in real life except for in a zoo, I think this is the second or third zoo where I've seen one (and I go to every zoo I can). Sorry the Hellbender is not a better quality; I took a bunch of shots and this was the best. You can make him out almost dead center of the picture, the dark object; and to the left (as we look), three of his toes, they are yellowish.
Next time we go to this Faire, we'll see the Utica zoo.

Cool. I used to live near Syracuse, maybe if I'm ever in that area again (which I doubt will happen) I may stop in to check it out. I would really like to see that hellbender!:D

    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.
