At the moment I have;

5.5.1 Cynops pyrrhogaster sasayama
1.3.10 Tylototriton verrucosus Clare/Ummi dark strain
0.3.0 Ichthiosaura alpestris apuanus

This year I also raised lots of Triturus cristatus and Lissotriton vulgaris from eggs for my nature pond. I released them as late stage larvae at the end of the summer. I also took in eight adult L. vulgaris that were loosing their pond.
 
I used to own just one Tiger salamander and a juvenile California slender salamander. Since my last post on here, I have lost the CSS, but I got three Eastern newts and a pair of Taricha granulosa. One day I want to own a Pachytriton newt, doesn't matter what type they are, and Ommototriton. Of corse Ommatotriton I'll never get here, and Pachytriton may be possible, but definitely WC. One day I want to go to either Europe or back to America, so it should one day be possible
 
Wow, there are so many axolotl lovers here! So far the highest on the poll is the axolotls :) yay axolotl love!
 
If you ever have any C. Ensicauda you'd part with. I've been looking for years. I have 13 species now, and would offer trade or $.

Wow, incredible Re: What kind of Newt/Sal(s) do you have?

Hi,

Nice thread. I am new to the hobby and have had an interesting experience learning about them...

Eastern newts-they eat anything I put in there
Marbled newts-cool terrestrial guys
Ribbed salamanders-i thought I did good water changes but 3 went on me before I did a terrestrial set up
Alpines-I was doing good until 2 acrobats climbed out of a hole in my lid (expensive lesson)

I am humbled by the real hobbiest here. Not easy, no.
 
Currently I have two leucistic axolotls (one female, one too young to tell), a male wild axolotl, and a female melanoid axolotl (who we were convinced was male due to size, and who gave us a surprise the other month).

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
