What are some differences between these two species? A friend of mine bought a "Tiger Newt". She thinks it is a Axotlol...whatever the spelling is. I think t is a paedomorphic Tiger Salamander. By the way this was purchase by a "breeder" in KY.

The salamander in question is dark green in color and has some spots of dark green. It has a pretty decent sized gill structure too. Whaat do you think?

My area of knowledge lies in reptiles, but I am somewhat knowledgable with amphibs. Just curious.
 
well based on what i have heard on this site tiger sals in larvam for have shorter stouter fingers, also the fin doesnt extend as far as with axos, if i am wrong someone please correct me.

    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.
