I’m harvesting leaf litter from my backyard and most leaves are cottonwood. Is this safe for salamanders? Can Isopods eat it? Pretty much, is Cottonwood known to be toxic?

Also, I gathered rotting wood for my Isopods, I know you want herdeood leave but the actual wood be softwood? This question is less Inportant than the first but an answer would still be appreciated!

P.S. Sorry this isn’t exactly about newts and sals.

    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.
