tiger salamander clicking
One of my blotched tiger salamanders recently started make a click sound during feeding. he’s seems healthy and has a good weight but I was wondering if this is some kind of symptom of something? If not, does anyone know why he might be making that noise. Just to be clear he doesn’t open his mouth to click, he does with his throat.

That's interesting, never knew they could vocalize? I've heard the Pacific giant can vocalize. Does he make that noise before or after dinner? Does he only vocalize in you presence? Sit somewhere out of site and listen. Is it defensive? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanx for sharing. Maybe he just had the hiccups or something stuck in his throat?

He only does it while I’m feeding him but mainly when I feed the other tiger salamander I have him with. It doesn’t seem a defensive thing rather a strive for attention.

My Califoniense seems to be a lot less outgoing and seems to burrow more than my other one.

    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.
