Hi Everybody

Just thought I would introduce myself and my babies , I was lucky enough to take delivery of 4 Cynops Orientalis from Morg this week , they are settling in nicely. With the good information on this site I hope to provide them with a long healthy life.

Here are three of them posing for the camera.

Glad to see you finally made it, Jeff. I told you it wasn't that bad ;)

Just as a sort of introduction: Jeff is the one who took the picture of Morg's newt in my hands that is in my profile. He's a good friend of mine from England, and now a beginning newter (it seems the more people I know, the more people that get interested in the hobby).

Welcome to the club Jeff.

I notice the same thing Kaysie. It's probably because we speak so passionatly about it and the newts itself ARE cool, beautiful, adorable, cute,...
I just hope that all the people interested also understand the need to take good care of them and to inform them well.
 
Joeri, I'll keep Jeff in line! He's a good keeper, and was previously into tropical fish. But he knows how to ask questions, and has been months in the making of getting these newts, just so he would have all the right setup and everything. He's going to make a great keeper.
 
Kaysie and Joeri thanks for the welcome.

I hope to provide the best conditions I can, I am also not afraid of being put in my place , am I Kaysie?

I am already planning my next tank/s.

    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.
