Just in time for Christmas for that caudataphile that has (two of) everything:

The coin is dedicated to the speckled salamander, a representative of Caudate amphibious species, the only type of salamander species in the fauna of Ukraine, which natural habitat covers mountain and submontane regions of the Carpathian mountains. [Photo at URL below]

Ecu d'or au Salamanders - A gold coin of France struck under Francis I (1515-1547). The obverse has crowned arms flanked by two salamanders. On the reverse, there are two F's and two salamanders in the angles of a cross.

There are no speckled salamanders in Ukraine :) You mean fire salamanders. I thought that there are also newt species in Ukraine (like L. montandoni for example).

    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.
