hi,
are taricha granulosa illegal in california? i tried to order some online, and the company said they're illegal in california. where can i find a list of species that are illegal in california?
thanks!
 
Strangely enough, T. granulosa is illegal to sell/buy in CA because it is a native species, but the pet shops from other states get their T. granulosa from CA. It's one of those state herp laws that makes no sense...

Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, all species which can be found in CA are illegal to buy/sell/trade in CA. It's not illegal to possess them in CA, but you can only keep a certain number of native herps...4 I think. That's total animals, not species.

The laws are at: http://www.californiafishandgame.com/ca/district/reptiles/rep.htm
 
I think it is illegal to import them to CA as well, i.e. if you live in another state and move to CA you cannot bring your T. granulosa with you (not even four of them).
 
I also thought you needed a fishing license in theory to own any native CA herp. Then you come under the number limits.
 
I don't think you need a fishing license to own native CA herps, just to legally collect them.

    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.
