One of my C. orientalis is missing! (Krycek, the one with 6 toes on one hind leg.) After examining for about half an hour, from all angles, I finally had a friend help me, and I lifted stuff out and tilted things to see if he was somehow stuck under a rock... he's nowhere! All I can find is Scully and Grissom

Do newts tunnel? Maybe he dug a hole in the gravel? There's no way he got out. The screen fits snug to the tank, plus I have a light on top of it adding weight....

if you have a overhanging filter try the inside lost one of my newts for 6 days and went to clean the filter there he was.
 
I don't. I have an undergravel filter (using only one side of it) and there's no way he got into the tubing or anything (although knowing that, I checked over and over anyway!)

This is just so weird...

that leaves no other option than to totally clean out the tank I think, good luck!
 
What is running the UG filter (powerhead, or forced air)? How does the cord or air tubing get into the tank? If it comes through a cut-out hole in the screen lid, that's good. If it comes through UNDER the screen lid, this can leave enough of a crack for an orientalis to escape.

I hope you find him

    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.
