Do any of you from New Jersey keep Ambystomids? It is my understanding you can't keep them without a permit. I have been told by pet shop owners that permits are hard to get. Who has the facts on this?
 
not sure about the pet trade, but info about wild caught can be found HERE

it's always been my understanding that axolotls and tigers are forbidden. i keep 2 pairs of a. opacum i bought online from other states.... probally not 100% legal since they are a special concern species and i don't have any permits

as far as pet shops go i have never seen any terrestrial species ever sold in any mom pop store or chain in the northern nj area where i live. the chains are taking over and hey don't even sell newts. about a year ago i purchased a pair of sickly P. hongkongensis from a large mom/pop store that is now owned by petco, under petco they nolonger carry newts but i do recall getting a permit when buying them

    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.
