The images are beautiful but the information is incredibly flawed. Half of what they say it utter rubbish.
She says exactly that...that the snake does not see the colours of the alpine newts as signs of danger, which is obviously not true...The fact that the snake eats it has nothing to do with lack of conspicuous coloration...Natrix natrix even predates on S.salamandra.
I noticed it seemed to leave behind it's body imprint in toxic excretions. It looked like a gray slime trail in the form of the frog just before it leaps away. I loved the live birth scene and wondered how they got the camera in there so close. I also loved how the frog covers it's eyes too. That was cute!
I did not understand much but maybe a handful of words, but it was very nice and I really appreciated the video. Thanks for posting!
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.
sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
