Hello! I'm new here but I'm happy to find some help with my Newt. I've had him (don't actually know the sex) for about 1 1/2 years (legally obtained) and never really know if I'm treating him right. I'd really appreciate advice.

Tank: 25 gallons, mostly terrestrial with a little pond, 1 hut, and one weird rock. I used to have wood but it looked to be molding.

Feeding: 1 large red wiggler every other day

Humidity: I'm not sure how much to worry here. Advice?

Temp: I just moved to a hotter climate. It's been about 70 degrees in his tank so far and it's not even summer yet. What's the temperature range?

I rarely hold him but switched out his mulch this day!

    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.
