I believe that over in your country people breed bettas. They often use mozzie larvae to feed them. If not, get a fine net and go down to a ditch after getting sprayed with bug spray. A few sweeps in the summer would prolly be good for a few days or two depending on how many critters you are feeding
 
Actually, as I've mentioned earlier, I don't really know where the mozzies breed. My only guess is in monsoon drains, which are very deep, some about 6 feet deep and VERY stinky. I don't think I'm up for it. Those drains are the only ones with stagnant water AFAIK. Other shallower drains are usually dry.
On the other hand, I tried recently smacked mozzies. The newts wanted to eat, snapped at them, but they floated away, so they couldn't catch them, and subsequently gave up. Darn!
 
Hey Sharon
I just realized your from AZ. There's a pet shop in Mesa that sells live blackworms but they call them tubifex, pretty cheap too. They also have earthworms, but I can't remember how much they want for them. If you have a cooler or better yet a portable fridge you could buy them up here if your local pet shop doesn't have any. This place also offers a range in size of crickets, but you'd probably have to put them in like a critter keeper so they could breathe for a long ride and then I don't know if the car's AC would be enough. If you decide you want the name of the pet shop I'm talking about e-mail me

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for the info. Phoenix is about 400 miles away, BUT we are heading up there to look at buying a truck.

There is also a reptile specialty shop in Tucson, (150 miles away) that often carries live worms, fruit flies, and varying sizes of crickets.

My local petstore will usually special order anything I want. I forgot to ask if they could get live black worms. :::: sigh :::: it would be nice if shops and people could stick to one name for all the various worms!

Send me the name anyway would you please? I plan on checking out as many petshops as I can for unusual species while I'm up there anyway! Maybe I'll find a nice interesting tropical fish for my fish tanks! Mesa does have two dealerships we plan on being at anyway.

Sharon

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    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.
