Hello everyone!

She is very chubby in these pictures, and is about 6 cm / 2.4 in :p

Nice animal.
Do you have papers for it??? And is it legal for you to keep them??
I´m asking because as far as i know, portugal has strict rules about native species, and also because like anywhere else, there are spanish "breeders" who deal with ilegal animals.
 
Im jealous lol. Ive never seen a fire salamander in person.

Yes Azhael, a complaint and this guy is in trouble! :violent:
 
Hi!

I Have the captive breed Invoice, and she is registered at ICNB (instituto da conservação da natureza e biodiversidade).

In January the law was amended, allowed the legal possession of the native animals who had the certificate of birth in captivity
.
All the best!

Are you sure? The law would not be changed only there for half of the year? Be careful what you do! ;) Know of any site where you can confirm this change? At least see if you take good care of the salamander!

cheers
 
At the ICNB you can view the ''new'' law.

All the best!
 
Can you point out where exactly is the article about th new law??? I don´t know portuguese, and although i can pretty much understand it (at least the yeast) i can´t find that law.
 
Hi,
I've been reading the law and very briefly it says that not only papers that prove that the animal was born in captivity, but also that the breeder has to go sign up for the CITES. The decree is this: 7 / 2010.
 
Well then since no iberian species of caudate is included in CITES and i take that the law is talking exclusively about CITES species( i suposse this law has appeared to control the problems you guys have with reptiles), i suposse it has absolutely nothing to do with S.salamandra or any other native caudate..which still makes them illegal in Portugal???
 
No, the law was made for all autócne animals ! I is that I can not explain it well, it does not dominate the subject! Asks the boy, presumably because, as he was to legalize your salamandra you should know the answer better than anyone!
 
I´m completely lost.
CITES papers and european caudate legality is a nonsense....they can´t ask you to have CITES for any of them, and if CITES is really a requirement, then all european caudates have to be excluded from that law....
 
Here's a good question, by chance yesterday I found myself thinking about it! For I have no idea what the process used for the European species! However let's the promise that I will try to learn more about these issues, if they are a little more loose!
cheers

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
