Oh wow, you have to be excited about those guys... is that all the information you're going to divulge to us?
 
I sure hope become as successful as the strauchii appear to have been.

How do they compare to strauchii so far?
 
That's about all I can tell you so far, they're just settling in. They run around and climb like little lizards. They're young CB's that will hopefully be my breeding stock of the future
 
haha, I meant like who bred them, how many do you have? If you don't mind me asking -

I'm excited for you!
 
Woooh... nice to see they ended up in the hands of an experienced keeper rather than a trophy hunting novice with too much disposable cash. Look after them and breed them - in their thousands preferably

. Good luck!
 
In answer to your questions Kyle, I got them from Michael Shrom who imported them from a breeder. I picked up a dozen to hopefully help insure a gender ratio. As for the magic touch Pin Pin, we'll see about 2 years or so down the road. I've had luck with alot of species, hopefully it keeps up. I also have some buddies who have experience keeping and breeding them so I'm getting some good info on care and breeding. Hopefully in a couple of years (fingers crossed) I'll be able to set up some people with breeding groups like I did with the marms, montandoni, apaunus, and cristatus from my own stock.

It's too bad we can't post videos here... this is one species where a photograph really fails to capture it. I've seen these little guys, and they move around like nothing I've ever seen. Try to imagine newts on speed. Good luck with them, Dave

Dave,
What do your buddies tell you about their relation to water? I've read two different stories on this. They remind me a lot of leopard geckos the way they look and act.

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    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.
