Just a few shots of a Taricha Granulosa in study. The willing, and vain, model is Buck. Here he is in striking side-pose on a lilypad (his left side seems to be his best). And last, but not least, Buck enjoying his Spongebob jellyfish. (Can anyone tell my why these newts are sometimes called Roughskin newts? -

Pam, he's gorgeous. I have to think all T. grans are of the Grandiose subspecies, as my pretty little girl is always doing things to make you know that she's better than you!

If you run across anyone with another T. grans, I'm definately looking for another one.

    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.
