Does T.torosa shed right before starting the aquatic phase? Mine just started to congregate towards the water and I have noticed a couple of skins in the water portion.
 
From what I have read up on it they continue to shed during the aquatic stage as well as before it. I hope someone who has actual experience with the species can advise you better.

    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.
