Yes! We finally have newts in our house! I've been lurking here for weeks researching them but it has definitely been worth it. In my 29 gallon tank I now have 6 little eastern red spotted newts. So far, so good. They like the fake lily pad, ivy and turtle dock. Tomorrow I'll try feeding them for the first time. Thanks to all who have posted and especially those who answer the posts. I don't know where else I could have gotten such good information.
 
Aw congratulations!!! I love my sal, whites' tree frogs and axolotls... just dying to expand the amphibs - again - in my house...

    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.
