Hey guys, I'm looking to get a couple newts for my paludarium build and I was looking for suggestions. I built a probably 60-40% water to land build with a light current (filter pulls water from one side and empties it into the other). I was looking for a suggestion on which newt species would thrive the best in this type of environment.

Thanks!

Most are either aquatic with some logs to haul out on or terrestrial with a shallow dish to soak in or just regular spritzing.

I don’t think there are many or any newts that would make use of a true paludarium.

    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.
