Question about Newt on a Stick

Hello folks,
A while back somebody posted a picture or pictures of what I thought were dried Tylototriton sold as food/ medicinal ingredients? Something about them coming from Thailand or somewhere else in asia? I tried searching the forum for hours and could not find it.

All I found was Tim's old thread of ( hahaha) Japanese newt "delicacies" but these were Hynobius and Cynops.

Any help appreciated. ( because in there was a link Tim posted which lead to another picture depicting a man holding up a newt on a stick )

I was about to question my father who still lives in Malaysia if such "oddities" were sold in the medicinal shops there and I wanted to show him the aforementioned picture.

Many thanks.
Terry
P.s. ( to quote Paris) Don't eat the newts...
 
Jeff! Thanks very MUCH! Finally!

I mailed the link to my father so he could take a look in the local markets in Malaysia. I'll keep you all posted!

Best regards,
Terry

    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.
