I had to relocate some breeding newts this year and this male looked unusual to me. Maybe it's not all that uncommon, but I was just wondering if anyone else has seen one with so many orange spots?

He certainly is a beauty! I think he does have a few more spots than average, but I don't think it's that unusual. I've seen a few like this.
 
Yes that is a very nice newt you got there! I don't believe its unusual either

Nice newt:D
Here's another example, this one an N. v. dorsalis with extra spots.

    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.
