I just captured some decent pictures of my Pachytriton labiatus shedding and eating it. Take a look!

Great pictures! Looks like you grabbed your camera just in time. Very cool. Did someone say lunch?

wow veryinteresting. I have yet to catch mine do that. Great job on capturing the shedding.
 
The first time I saw my newts doing that I thought they were cannibals! I was FREAKING OUT!
I thought a big one was eating a little one and I started crying. The shed was so perfect it was shaped just like another newt, a smaller one. Then I went back and read more about them and realized what was going on. I was SO relieved.
 
I will probably never see one of these amazing creatures in my area, so I would like to put in a request. More pictures please.

I'll certainly try. She (?) is quite the shy creature and prefers to stay in here cave during the day. Unless she's rubbing against the filter to help shed her skin

I'll certainly do what I can with my camera. It just wasn't made for newt pictures.

    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.
