So I wanted to give an update on the baby axies I got not too long ago. They came to me with missing limbs and damaged gills.

I've managed to drop the temp down to 70 degrees and keep it steady. Once I get the vivarium completed with a real cooling system it should not get above 68 degrees.

Both axies have much fuller gills and they finally have itty bitty hands and feet. The wildtype is growing at a faster rate then my gold albino (they are hand fed and both eat well). Here is a comparison of my wildtype (it's really hard getting a good photo of the albino =/ )

The first photo is of the day I brought them home and the second photo was taken today.

    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.
