Hey everybody, I need a little advice on my female Granulosa. She's been getting bigger since I got her, and Quagmire (the male I got with her) was constantly piggybacking her (hence the name) for the 1st week or so after I got them. She doesn't seem to be eating any more than Quagmire but she looks bigger. So is she incredibly gravid or rather fat? Btw these picts are from a few days ago and I will try to find older picts.

She looks gravid to me. See how most of the weight is located in her abdomen?
 
looks like you're gonna be a grampa, Griac :)
 
Oh wow...:D that's pretty sweet! I think I'm a little young to be a grandpa yet!:kill:

BTW I've read some other posts saying granulosa don't usually lay. Can anyone confirm, and would having a bellyfull of eggs affect her health at all?
 
Also, any thoughts for her name? As long as it's not Lorretta:lame:

    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.
