Looking for any guidance on what subspecies this is. It looks maybe blotched, but I’m not certain. Does not look like an Eastern or typical barred.

Most likely a blotched, maybe a grey barred, possibly a eastern that is extremely grey. The latter two are unlikely.

yeah, now that they have all completely morphed, they are all definitely blotched. Thanks for the feedback!
 
to me they look like a tiger salamander and axolotl hybrid by the slimmer body and oval like head and the legs look a little smaller closer to a axolotl

They look like that when young and grow in to their heads with age. I know from experience.

I’m pretty sure they are blotched. Here are more recent pics. Either way I like the color pattern

Thanks! Yeah, it was hard to tell for first several months. Since you brought up, I looked at some pics of the hybrids. Really interesting stuff

    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.
