If I were thirty years younger, I'd apply for this myself:

Oglebay's Good Zoo is currently inviting applications for 2 eastern hellbender field research internship positions for the summer of 2005. Researchers will assist in monitoring and collecting data on eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) in local streams in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. Researchers will be required to spend a minimum of 320 hours assisting with a variety of duties including data collection in the field, data analysis, report preparation, and public education. College juniors, seniors, or graduate students majoring in Biology, Ecology, Wildlife and Fisheries Management, or Zoology are encouraged to apply. Experience with radio telemetry, PIT tags, and GPS is preferred but not necessary. This is an unpaid internship. However, free summer housing and utilities excluding phone will be available to the chosen applicants. For more information on how to apply, please contact Joe Greathouse, Curator of Animals, at (304) 243-4029 or by e-mail at jgreathouse@oglebay-resort.com.

    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.
