Live in a plastic box

The newts in these pictures live in a plastic box 30x35x10(waterdepth)cm. As plastic isn't as transparent as glass I apologise for the blurry effect.

The first picture shows a cynops orientalis larve, 3.5 months old, measuring +/- 3cm. Notice how big his gills still are and also the 'dots' that were discussed in an other topic.

In this picture you see not only that I have to clean up the tank, but also a larve and a newly morfed one. Yesterday he still had very small leftovers of his gills and they are now completely gone.

The white dots on the morf are air, seconds before he was out of the water (see note later on)


Here you see the same morf on the side of the tank posing his belly. I love the coloration he has already

By the way; this picture was taken before the previous one, so the morf was out of the water but took off when I tried to catch it. After taking the picture in the water I took it out and placed it in an other tank with other morfs and land.

    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.
