Hi!

Now I post some pics of my Cynops pyrrhogaster sasayamae one day after metamorphosis:

And for this subspecies the typical red dorsal stripe:

You can see that they are already red, because I mostly feed them with Artemia, Daphnia, Sheet lice, Hyalella azteca.
(like: http://www.caudata.org/forum/messages/985/16530.html?1086507173 )
You also can see the rest of the gills.

Hi Paul
How did you manage to keep him still in the first picture?
 
Hi Francesco,

I say to him "be a good boy, turn on your back, Francesco will see your pretty belly"

What are sheet lice?


Mind telling me how you culture you "scuds'. I have a culture running...but I think mine are probably gammarus.
 
Hm - is this not the right English word?
I mean Aphidae (aphids) - small insects (parasits) on plants!

Very interesting, Paul. Have you read the report "Food Habit of the Juvenile of the Japanese Newt Cynops pyrrhogaster" by Kumi Matsui, Koji Mochida and Masahisa Nakamura?

Zoological Science 20: 855-859 (2003)
 
Cool, I was wondering if I could feed newts those little "leaf lice". I have more than enough of them on my basil and lettuce.

Seriously, how did you keep it still? Probably be less stressful treating a sore on the belly of a female C. O
 
o.k.
It was coincidence that the newt lay calmly for a while. I used that quickly for a photo.

    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.
