Here's a T.shanjing in truly appalling condition that I received from a pet shop for free Saturday after convincing the staff (at my wife's behest) that it would die if left untreated (though to be perfectly honest, I did buy something there in order to sweeten the deal). It may die anyway, but at least with us it still has a fighting chance
It's condition on Saturday was a such:
In my limited experience with T.verrucosus (I haven't any experience with T.s but surely the same holds true with this species), when the body becomes glossy like this it's a sure sign the newt is seriously ill.
The left legs are both missing the bottom portion and bone is protruding from the rear one. The two right legs are intact though.
