Hi,

Just wanted to show off my four efts!
Amazingly orange, aren't they?
I love this newt and especially the efts!!

Imagine breeding these and having a whole bunch off them together.
Hope to be so lucky in the future :)

Hi Joey,

I must admit i have no knowledge about their age.
They are about half the size of adults. They are complety orange, no greenish yet. :)

Guess they will need another year!
 
I'm just curious, are they captive bred? Or do they import newts to the Netherlands?
They sure are pretty.
 
Ive read raising them to this stage is really difficult. How much work did it take? If it was alot and heavy, its far from luck! :)
 
Hi,

I just recently got these from a friend.
He had them just for a short while, must admit i don't know for sure how or who he got them from.
Chances are these are wildcaught.....i guess...

I have seen some imports in the past, so it does happen here to.

    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.
