Hi. It's been a while since I've been on this board and I have a question. It's going to be nice outside tomorrow where I live and I'm going to a forested park tomorrow. The breeding season has started for red-spotted newts where I live and I'm hoping to get to see a few. Any ideas on when and in what type of area I should search to find some larvae or breeding adults?
 
Just try to look through a few ponds and look under damp logs to look for adults and efts.
 
Okay. I haven't been to any ponds in a while but know I'll look. I didn't find any today though. I guess the park is too disturbed by people.

    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.
