when i was cleanin my tank i found my 5th nvv male dead. he had his stomach ripped out. something leads me to believe that this little guy was slaughtered by another male newt. he looked perfectly intact except for his stomach. he did not look skinny. i doubt it was a disease because i saw no sign of a disease. he also could have drowned because only when i moved an ornament did he float up. well my colony that used to be six is down to 4. the other died along time ago because it was not eating. well, now i will be able to see them all the time with their new bare tank.
 
Can a newt drown? Anyway, I am sad to hear this.

    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.
