Hi just recently joined, though I've been reading this site for a while and it really helped me raise my female Paddletail Newt, Padd.

I've had her for 2 years now. Her colour was fading due to a non-varied diet, but it's coming back.

I keep her in a small tank with a hiding place, some plants, and some river rocks. When my turtle outgrows her larger tank, I'll give it to Padd! (after a good scrubbing)

What did you feed her that was un-varied? Your setup looks good.

How weird...I didnt post this? I seem to have been credited with someone elses posts? I certainly havent posted 100+ times on here..
 
Kevin, we've had a lot of this particular issue popping up lately. We've recently switched servers, and the server seems to have a hard time differentiating between users. Please email John Clare (the site owner) and bring this to his attention.
 
Your setup looks really nice. How big is it, and do you mind me asking about how much you paid for the tank? I'm going to try to get something like it for my paddletail.
 
Only contact me if it's a big deal to you because it's a big deal to me when I have to fix it.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
