This sorta goes with something Michael said ina previous thread. I went out today and well most the streams ive been going to are gone. dried up . The one stream i had any success was a stream that was almost gone. i found 1 (looks like a mix dusky and 2lined) so i desided to collect it before the stream was gone (no more water for about 1/2 mile). he seemed relly inactive. hope he will make it.. and also around this stream looked like people had already been digging around and turning things over. err. everything was all messed up soo i tried to straighten the rocks back out and put leaves back aong the bank. this may possibly be why all the streams dried up .there was also a pool that i collected some frog eggs. dried up and gone. only tadpoles letf are the ones i collected . :-/

has it rained there recently? sounds more like a drought would cause this than someone moving around rocks and such.
 
no not much rain resently. a few showers . just not sure. more rain is comming in this week so maybe things will regenerate.

  • 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.
