This is my pleuro, which I got 3 months ago and has already grown 2-3 cm bigger and yesterday he shedded his skin. I hope you like him (or her...!)Sorry for the bad quality of the pics but I have taken them with my mobile.

What a great looking newt! I have to agree with you it does look like (S)he is posing for you. Would love to see some more pictures of this little one.
 
Thanks for the comments! His name is "akis" and it's coming from the greek word for salamanders/newts, salamandra. The little salamander is called salamandr-aki, so i called him aki-s. Akis is also the short name of Alexander in Greek. It's a weird name, I know! Anyway I'll try to take some photos of his tank soon!
 
He looks so happy! I hope mine will look that good... as soon as one finds me that is.
 
Thats a nice healthy looking 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.

    sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
