So I heard there was a bit of an earthquake in Virginia today. I understand it wasn't all that bad, still....thinking of certain caudata members with racks upon rickety racks piled high with tanks...oh my. :eek:

Any damage? All newts accounted for? :ufo:
 
No damage, and I missed it because I was napping. Call me a heavy sleeper :D
 
I felt it in NY at work, the building started shaking. First I thought, OK, that's enough caffeine and sugar for one day. Then I realized it wasn't me, and all I could do was imagine myself in the rubble with 1700 male inmates on the loose. Of course nothing much happened, but it was felt by many along the east coast. The picture in the newspaper today showed the epicenter, in Virginia, just over Justin's house. I think all his tanks exploded with eggs, causing the massive 5.8 quake.
 
we haven't heard from Justin......that might be a bad sign. Hope he's not mopping up spilled tanks and capturing liberated newts
 
Here's proof:
and Justin's fine. There was no damage anywhere d/t the quake.

Yeahh I was at my couch on the second floor in NY and was on the computer and all of the sudden I feel my couch shakeing.At first I ignore it.Then it gets slightly more vibrant and I start thinking that theres some structual damage with my house(my house is around 100 years old and have had many problems before)So I ask my sister to sit next to me and see if shes feeling it too.She think's it's me since I'am a bit of a jokester and I had my feet on the table(yes bad maners lol) so I take them off and it's still shaking.Then I hear my next door nieghbors screaming ''Its an earthquake!''That's when I was aware of the situation.
 
No, you aren't aware of the situation with all the rumbling and stuff.. but when the neighbour yells it, ooohhhh *clicks* Right. Earthquake.

lol :D.Well it was'nt like rumbling just the couch vibrated a little bit it was'nt much most people did'nt even notice.

    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.
