Here is an invitation to the East Texas Herpetological Society November meeting. The topic is an in depth discussion on the Texas Blind Cave Salamander and other herps in the Edwards Aquifer, a large network of underground water filled caverns. It will be held November 10, 7:30 PM at the Hermann Park Zoo.
It will be very interesting, and refreshments will be provided. Attendance is free.
Here is a link describing this:

I have been a member for several years. When I was a kid/teen, I was a member of the predecessor org. Are you a member also?
 
No. I had no idea this organization even existed. I had heard of something similar when I lived in Austin but I moved down here before I joined.
 
I think you may like it. There is a nice group of enthusiasts and hobbyists and professionals. ETHS puts on a public show every September, with CB herps from all over the country, as well as supplies, plus speakers.
The meetings are pretty well attended, and there is a spring field trip/camping trip annually.
We want more people involved from the amphibian side of the herp universe.

    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.
