Anything advertised as GFP has the "glowing" gene. It is easiest to see in light colored animals. Try not to expose them to UV light frequently, though. It's stressful and really not very good for them. Many will glow under blue LEDs, which is probably less harmful.

I just got lucky but there are people here who sell them as well. Depends on where you are and what's available. But truly (like the other person on this post said as well) prolonged exposure to those lights is not good for them. I bought a portable light for about 10 dollars just for pics once in a while.
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.
sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
