You know you've been keeping newts too long when.....

This morning:

You had a dream about meeting new people that also like salamanders (a rare occasion in this part of holland), and one of them gave you 1 salamandra algira that was appearantly pregnant and had fertilised eggs...

the stuff where dreams are made of!
 
I remember vividly how I looked at the eggs and saw at least 3 larvae! Didn't you guys ever dreamed about your newts?
 
you consider calling your first born sally amanda knowing she'll get sal for short.
 
After a hard day, you gaze longingly into your newt enclosure and wish you could shrink...and live in there for a little while. (Without getting eaten).
 
you get webbed toes

you wish that there were more girls out there that like amphibians

you envy your axolotls because they have such a good stress free no deadlines life

your favourite dream is when you go to mexico, or any part of central/south america, to go on a collecting trip to bring back wierd and wonderful species of amphibians and fish, and then vouch to breed them, and return the young ones to the wild

    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.
