Hey there everyone, I'm new to this forum, but thought I'd start out with a question right away. I've always been a snake junky and I'm straying out of my normal realm here. I do some volunteer work for a nature center in Kansas and have been asked by the director of the place to try to collect a specimen or two of Ambystoma texanum to display for a day during a public program called Walk With Wildlife. The past trend has always been collecting the animals, displaying them for half a day, then immediately releasing them back into the wild, and it has always been a success. But like I said, my niche has always been snakes. The territory I'm trying to focus on is south central/south eastern Kansas. I've done some research on these salamanders such as breeding habits, habitat, ect.. I was wondering if anyone here has any tips or pointers to help me narrow my search and make it as productive as possible. Thanks!

    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.
