I am getting on an airplane in less than 2 weeks from NY to CA. Can my newt fly with me? Is it safe/healthy for her? If so, what precautions should I take for her? Please let me know ASAP!!! Thanks
 
Call the airline! They are SOOO picky about everything these days that it would be dangerous to rely on advice from a forum. I'm sure the airlines must have requests about flying with small pets, and can guide you. If it's OK with them, pack the newt in a plastic container with a damp paper towel. Make sure you never let it get hot (in a hot car, for example). A mini-cooler might be helpful. If the airline says no, then send the newt by overnight shipping to someone in CA.
 
Yes, I carry animals in my luggage that is going under the aircraft all the time. Just use a deli cup full enough of damp moss so that it won't shift around.
 
In summer, I wouldn't do that. Sometimes luggage sits out on the tarmac in the sun before or after loading on the airplane. In addition, all checked luggage is now heavily X-rayed.

    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.
