Newt

Reid, it depends. You'd need to have it shipped. I've had more problems with my roughskinned newts than any others. They're the only ones I've had to take to the vet, and that's happened twice. They're not a good 'starter newt'. I would suggest learning everything you know about the animals you already have before you start getting more.
 
In addition to getting the newts shipped to him, he would have to fill out and submit an application for permission to import to the state goverment, set up quarantine and possibly post a bond for any importation.

  • 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.
