Tonight was a little different. Warmer than the last time (about 52 degrees vs 45). It had rained earlier in the day, so the roads were damp but starting to dry. Went on the same roads as day 1 but found quite a different mix of animals.

Found 7 Pseudotriton ruber, but unfortunately 3 were DOR.
P. glutinosis were readily abundant, saw 12+... P. cinereus plentiful...
Only 1 A. maculatum, no A. jeffersonianum...
No Gyrinophilus tonight...
still no E. longicaudata...
Desmognathus were abundant...
I collected a few Desmogs for ID purposes (fuscus vs ochrophaeus), but will release them shortly, as I'm pretty much where I wanna be with my collection (unless somebody has some spare Aneides, P. yonahlossee or T. rivularis they wanna swap).

    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.
