Strange warts?

Guest
I have four firebellies, probably c.ensicauda. Today I noticed that one of them had two pair of little "warts" near the end of his tail and I´m quite sure he/she hasnt had them long. What is this and should I be worried, or is this common? The newt seems otherwise healthy and so is the tankmates.

If you have any idea whats going on please tell the newbie.....
 
When you say "pair" do you mean the bumps are symmetrical on both sides of the body? If so, I wouldn't worry.

Also, where did you get them? If they came from a shop, they are VERY unlikely to be C. ensicauda. Maybe C. orientalis?
 
Är du svensk?

The bumps are symmetrical, so no reason to worry then? Vertebrae or something?

Well, I did buy from a pet shop, so perhaps you´re right... I have been trying to figure out what species they are and my second guess would have been C.orientalis.

Thanks for making me stop worrying

Och ja, jag är svensk!

Bor i Stockholm(Kista)och pluggar biologi för den delen.
 
Actually Jen we have some c.ensicauda breeders here ;) Believe it or not!
Dont know thir name though(trying to find out!!)
- so there are some ensicauda on the petmarket here.
 
Tjaba Marcus, jag bor själv i Uppsala och håller på med mitt exarbete för en magistertitel i biovetenskap och en eventuell apotekarexamen - kommer nog satsa på en doktorexamen istället för att göra apotekspraktiken som behövs för apotekarexamen....

Kontakta mig gärna om du har några salamanderfrågor eller så ;)
Jag kan identifiera din salamander om du vill..... Som Jennifer säger så är det troligt att det är en cynops orientalis, men det skulle vara kul om det var något annat. Jag kanske kan identifiera den mha en beskrivning om du beskriver salamandern utförligt.

Ha det!

Tjena,
Jag köpte dem i april, då det i flera zooaffärer hade dykt upp salamandrar som kallades för c.ensicauda. Ska försöka få ett par bra bilder av dem så du kan ge din åsikt, vore bra att veta.

Har de orange mage och svart rygg med vitgula prickar på? Då är det cynops ensicauda popei(hyfsat vanliga).
Om de har orange mage med helsvart rygg eventuellt med orangeränder så är de cynops ensicauda ensicauda(mycket ovanliga).
Om de har röd mage så är det troligtvis cynops orientalis, cynops pyrrhogaster, paramesotriton hongkongensis eller pachytriton labiatus. Pust

Kul att träffa en svensk här!
 
Jesper and Marcus - I'm not an English language supremacist, but nobody else can read what you are saying! Please correspond by e-mail.

Marcus - there would be a big difference coloration between C. ensicauda and C. orientalis. If you can post a picture, particularly a belly shot, that would probably reveal the answer. Are they very small juveniles?
 
Sorry Jen!
Blame me, I dont find swedes that share the hobby very often so I kind of get excited when meeting one here....

We did start to communicate by email!

    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.
