I made a brief trip to a site my friend told me he saw 4 "newts". He has only recently been turned on to the hobby, but has always enjoyed my collection. I doubt they were newts, but he described them as 4" long brownish "newts". Now being that he flipped some underwater stones to find them leads me to believe that they are just most likely larval sals of some sort. In any event, I was all excited to solve the mistery and couldn't turn a single thing! I hate that! It was a fun day out with my son though, so I can't complain too much!

Just move to Nebraska! Then every day is a dud herping day for caudates!
You get to see lots of the exact same species of garter snake and cricket frog though...

Or even better, try Utah...the only state with less caudates than Nebraska!;)
 
Come to australia.

Chase geckos, and try not to get bitten my large inland snakes.

o0o my Girlfriend does have a family of blue tounges in her back yard.

C'mon south. We've had so much rain lately that finding salamanders is easy. The Ambystomids and Plethodontids are out in great numbers on rainy nights

Unfortnately, many of these "spring lizards" are ending up as fishing bait.

    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.
