Hey, I'm new here so hello. I'm from cheese country, I've got a little experience with newts, an ok amount with salamanders, and a lot of experience breeding fish and keeping reptiles. I just set up a terrarium that is semi-aquatic (50/50) and with some nice planting. I'm hoping to try my hand at breeding some eastern newts that I've always admired. So yeah, just a little about me.
 
Welcome to the forum Luke! Keeping fish myself, I'll tell you that keeping newts is pretty similar...the main difference is bigger food items.
 
Hi Luke! I'm new too. Newts are fun. I wanted a reptile but got a newt instead. Someday if I get a gecko can I bug you about how to keep it?

    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.
