Hi,

Have A couple of Tiger Salamanders for about 2 years now and have a few questions I was hoping to get help with.

They have always been fed worms that I dig up outdoors. The thing is that I daily can see how much they love hunting,
the attacks and get stuck on my fingers etc. But are there any other live animals that dosent escape down the ground that
easily? I dont want the risk of getting dead bugs left and right in my "tank". Is there any nice beginner animals when learning to hunt?

They have baths in an old glass fruit-bowl and I regularly get "slime" that looks like small black eggs within.
Could this actually turn out to Tiger Salamanders? It dosent look like the typical salamander clutchers you see on google,
but similar.

How big change in temperature is necessary in order to get "proper egg-clusters"?

    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.
