Hi, I'm a new owner of a pair of Spotted Salamanders, and I noticed that one was in the water all day, and when I checked up on it, I saw this weird mucus-like white sac that was loosely coming from its cloaca. Is this something to be concerned about or is it maybe a spermataphore/egg sac?

Thank you!

    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.
