I just uploaded pics of my rubber salamander and newt collection to CollectorsQuest and thought I would share the link.. i'm kind of unable to keep live salamanders at the moment so this is the best i can do!

Salamander Replicas - MolarLion - CollectorsQuest.com

Does anyone else collect replicas? it's fun but they're kind of scarce
 
!!!

I have never been informed that there are little axolotl toy-model-things.
Which then leads me to... Is there one albino and one leucistic... Or are they both the same? ...The large waterdog looking one kind of scares me though. (Things that are larger than they should be scare me. Like fullsize oscars. And gigantic larvae next to fullgrown salamanders.)


...You know what would be awesome that this made me think of? Bathtime axolotls. Little rubbery ones to take in the bath, like a duck.
 
Hmm not sure which specifically you're talking about so I'll comment on all of them. The blue-ish speckled one by the yellow generic salamander is made by Play Visions (and is probably my least favorite of the entire collection), the large one is a Safari Tennessee Aquarium Mudpuppy (the realistic-colored one is rare, but you can still buy translucent colorful ones at shops like veghead.com), The three identically shaped little ones are from Takara's Japanese ChocoQ Pet Series 5 and I translate as being "White, Golden, and Marbled" (The white one has black eyes). The white in front of those three is a little bit of a mystery to me. I believe it's from Furuta's ChocoQ Animal Series 7, as a Secret figure (meaning that it's a surprise and not listed on any checklists). I've seen it listed as an Axolotl, and as a Cave Olm. I have the paper it came with, but i haven't tranlated it from the kanji yet. It had a completely different sculpt from the toher small white one; the body curves in a different way, the head is more bulbous, the girls are separated, and the legs are at different angles. I just uploaded a checklist I made of the japanese capsule toy salamanders to the album.. although I made that list before I got the new mysterious one. I actually have a newer white axolotl coming in the mail.. looks to be about the same size but distinctly different.. i'll post pictures eventually.
 
I just translated it and it's officially a "wooper looper" :)

ウーパールーパー = woo per looper
 
I think a wooper looper is just the cute name for axolotls in Japanese, and white is the shop name for leucistic. (I thiiiiink melanoid is 'black' and 'marbled' might be the wild ones.)

    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.
