I'm getting a CFBN tomorrow and I know the temp shouldnt go past 70 degrees. But I have a storage room where I keep my vivarium and I can lower the temo to as low as 50 degrees. I wanna know what temp I should keep him at and at what temp does he start to get cold and slugish?
 
Yeah, they could actually survive to just above freezing. I've personally never taken them below 46-48F, but I know a few people who have (like Steve now). It hasn't been a problem. At 48F, they still eat and are active, just slightly slower.

For winter, try to keep him in the high 40s-50s then raise to the 60s for summer. Those are my target temps and the newts cycle and breed well like that.

    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.
