So I have a 4 years old spotted salamander that I've raised from a larvae, and he is really I mean really dumb and lazy, super super dumb like negative iq. My friend bought a female one and it's all bloated now with eggs. I do have a plaudarium that he is in right now and its got a lot of water space. For 4 years I've personally never seen him get into the water, we are wondering is there a way to breed them in this circumstance? We live in west coast USA btw *not California. 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.
