Hello everyone. I am breeding strauchii newts and swordtail newts in South Korea. I know that there are very few Koreans on caudata.org, and I also ask for your understanding as there may be some communication problems because English is not my main language.
The number of people raising Newts in Korea is increasing now, but the technology is not yet developed. For example, strauchii newt population growth has not been achieved and is dependent on imports from Europe. Of course, in the case of Sword Tail Newt and Fire Belly Newt, the proliferation is actively taking place.
There are no veterinarians in the country who can treat amphibians, and most Newt breeders are treating them with symptomatic treatment such as Betafix. The skill gap is wide enough that I was the only person who recently translated and spread antibiotics suitable for trauma on caudata.org.
In Korea, CITES regulations are entangled in domestic laws, so axlotol breeding is not free and a separate facility permit is required. And for amphibians that fall under the CITES list, you must have a breeding document permission from the Korean government. Therefore, there are restrictions on the breeding of newts in the genus Tylototriton.
The presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis here is also one of the factors that makes breeding newts difficult in Korea. This is an amphibian disease native to Korea.
There are many shortcomings, but I would like to ask for a lot of guidance.
