Hello to all, I have a doubt of some of my newts, do not have very clearly if it is torosa or granular, when I received them, one fixes that the low eyelid was mas darkly that other two newts.

The seller said to me, which there are populations of taricha torosa with the low eyelid dark mas, but that it was sure that it was torosa.

I could not have seen the teeth vomerianos, have 3 in 120 liters.

A greeting.

Does anyone have an opinion?
 
It's really hard to tell, even the eyes are not definitive. I think you can only be sure on autopsy or something like that.

You can tell by the vomerine tooth, but still, not yawn in my presence, did it once but I was not looking at me.
 
I am about 99% sure that what you have there are Taricha granulosa. The low set eyes, color, size, and many more features give it away. I breed Taricha torosa and they look much different in my eyes.

    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.
