Hi !
I want to put my chinese firebellies together with my Pleurodeles waltl !
How is that ?
Thanks,
Niels
 
That would be a really bad idea for the firebellies, to get an idea of why find and earthworm bigger than your firebellies and see how many seconds it lasts with the waltls, I am sure the waltls would enjoy the firebelly snacks.
 
Well all right ! not a good idea !
In the pet store where i got the waltls they had both these species in the same tank-i guess it is because they are still quite young !or well fed !!

Niels, most pet stores take terrible care of their animals. A common mistake is to refer to the pet store as an example for how to care for animals, but when it comes to herptiles, most stores are terrible. A FEW pet stores are great, but they're the exception, not the rule.
 
Yes-i know
I just wanted to check if it was possible since the firebellies actually seemed to be all right in that tank inside the store -
I am now setting up another tank for my firebellies !

I've seen a pleuro attacking a goldfish once (it was before I discovered this website

). The goldfish was 2 times bigger then the pleuro.
So I can imagine how they'll be happy to take their chances on a smaller newt

    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.
