I had a day off work today so I decided to give the garden pond a spruce up and clear all the fallen leaves ready for spring. As I was cleaning I came upon these three characters which I photographed before releasing back into the pond:







All Palmates (T Helvetius) a female and 2 males. Last year it was a lot colder and I didn't see any newts till the end of Feb.

I also found this under some leaf litter, it must be either a smooth newt or palmate. It was tiny.

    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.
