DArn. It didnt show the pictures and it posted to, can a mod delete the other thread? and tell me how to resize, I think thats the problem.
 
I use paint to resize pictures.
Open the picture with paint and select image in the menu bar. Then go to Stretch/Skew. Change the horizontal and vertical % to 50% for example and see how big the picture now looks.
 
okay I figured it out, sorry bout that! Know here are mah cuties.

Anyone think they know the subspecies?
 
These are C. e. popei, because of the small white dorsal spots. Interesting variety though, these are really black, with beautiful dorso-lateral red lines!
 
They are actually gold dots,but dont the nominate have the specks to?
 
The nominates may have specks, but their specks look different (smaller, more regular in size/shape/distribution, less bright in color). I agree with Wouter, the kind of spots on your newts make them C. e. popei, with almost 100% certainty.

Are they large juveniles, or adults? It's hard to tell the exact size from the photos. They are quite nice.
 
pretty sure theyre adults. Id say young adult rather than large juviniles. Once they are settles I am probably goigto introduce a male, and i am pretty certain I have some lovely ladies.. And they were only 8.99

Sadly, wild-caught newts are usually cheaper than captive-bred. There is less human labor involved in taking animals from the wild and shipping them, as opposed to raising eggs.

The amount of white spots on your popei is quite normal for popei. You'll see photos of popei with a lot more white, but those are unusual newts - and those are ones people tend to take photos of.
 
Oh. That stinks. But they are very healthy at least. I a, going to breed them sometime...

    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.
