I just picked up two new babies today from a lady not far from me. One I know is leucistic, the other she said was a melanoid. They are both small so I know things can change, but I did shine the light to see if the rings shined or not, they did not, but his/her pupils did, green. I didn't think anything of this till I was looking through pictures to see if I could find baby melanoids and saw someone say that if they have green eyes, they have the GFP gene. Is this true? He definitely has green pupils, very small, but they are green glowy. She didn't say anything about it being a gfp though, so I don't know.

I didn't take any pictures of him with the green glowing pupils yet, as I am trying to let them settle in and not mess with them too much. But I can get some if needed.

Here they are though, more pictures of the melanoid or wild type, just not sure!









And my little leucistic,

 
Thank you!

Not the greatest pictures, but I was able to get his eyes with the green glow.



 
I just got a melanoid with the same kind of glowing green eyes. does this mean he is GFP?

Yes , because of the dark pigmentation you can really see the GFP on the body but if the eyes are green and glow under blue or black light he is definitely a GFP. By looking at your pictures I'm pretty sure he is a GFP .
This is a picture of my GFP Axolotls , you can see that the eyes of the wild type glow fluoresce green

    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.
