Ensatina eggs

I had an E.e.conceater lay eggs outside her hidespot the other night. She looked as though she was guarding them from the entrance, but I still didn't think that they would survive like that. I moved her hidespot (~2in) over the eggs and placed her back in it. Lost cause?

Maybe...I've been able to hatch out abandoned Plethodontid egg clutches before with resonable success. If she doesn't start guarding them again, go ahead and remove the eggs or she might eventually eat them.

It's cool to see someone has bred Ensatina. You should post some species records for www.caudata.org/~uscr
 
I checked last night and she was guarding the eggs. I'm stoked!

    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.
