Hey ☺️ I have three marbled newts arriving tomorrow or Friday, two from one place and one from another.

I wondered what the best way to introduce them was. I’m told marbled newts are pretty chilled but I don’t want to just plonk them in the viv if it’s going to cause problems. Particularly in a 2 vs 1 situation.

Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
 
As long as the sizes are similar, I would just plonk them in.
Make sure that they have lots of hiding places, but don’t be surprised if they all like to sit in the same spot.

Aw thank you, I really appreciate that. I’ve made sure there are lots of hides and if they want to escape each other, there are plenty of places for them to do that too.

Thanks again

    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.
