i came home from school today, and looked at my newts, one was really big and the other one seemed to be the same size it always had. I looked at the fat one for a while, and put some plants in a different aqurarium with it. My newt is a firebelly newt, about 3-4 inches long and i have owned it for about 4 months.

Help please A.S.A.P...i'm getting nervous!}}
 
Hi hmm you might have to wait a while, is the throat swollen as weel, if yes this could be a bad sign...
 
my newt's neck isn't swollen, its body near the back feet is bigger than when i bought the newt, everything seems to be going well with it, i haven't seen any eggs and it is still big
 
I have a fire-belly newt and its stomach around the feet has been getting bigger. She is sleeping alot. I have only had her for 2-3 weeks. When I got her she was in a tank with anouther but when I called the pet shop they just were rude! Her stomach has been big for about 3 days now what should I do could she be pregnant or is this just anouther problem?
 
Well if you do any searches online for it try gravid(that's when egg-layers have eggs)instead of pregnant,I hope everything turns out well!

frog, this was posted in april... i imagine she's found out by now.

but, newts fresh from the petshop who are getting plump might just be a sign that they're gaining weight, which is a good thing.

    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.
