Hello,

Everyone has been so helpful in the past and I was looking for experts to help verify my newt species. I bought 3 of these animals from a Illinois wholesaler who claimed these newts are Paramesotriton hongkongensis. I believe I have 2 males and 1 female, but other than sexing them I wanted to verify these were the right species. I attached pictures below and I will add more in an additional post as well. If anyone has time please post your replies, thank you.

Chuck

AW: Need help with Newt ID Please

Hello,

yes you have Paramesotriton hongkongensis. And the 8. photo in your first post shows a male.
The other twice should be females, but for a definitive right answer i need a better shot from the kloaka.

Good luck with your accession.

Greetings Ingo V.
 
Re: AW: Need help with Newt ID Please

Ingo,
Thank you for your response. I hopefully can get them to breed and I was told there were two females and one male. I'm not an expert but after inspection I believe this to be correct, from other members post on this species as well as info off the species database. Thank you so much for your input.

Chuck

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    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.
