That top left adult is in seriously good condition for a pet shop animal. Nice photos Tim

John, I have a confession to make. That one you mentioned is now...mine

It all began when we saw the seriously ill one...

...and my wife, who has always been trying to get me to scale down my collection, implored me to get the shop to release it into our care for free.

I told her they probably would only do so if we bought at least one of them since this was a shop I'd only been to once before and where I am unknown to the staff. I'm still not sure if I only said that as an excuse...

Anyway, the one at the left in the top pic is the same as the one in the second pic. The pic was taken in the shop so the one on the right is still there. I was pretty impressed with the thickness of the orange dorsal stripe on the one I acquired. Is that exceptional or normal for this species? Indeed, it does seem healthy and is eating well.
 
No, it's not too unusual. They all vary a bit. Far more common than a very spotted Cynops ensicauda popei. Lovely animal. How is the sick one getting along?

    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.
