2011 Ranavirus Symposium

In February, I will be attending a meeting to discuss amphibian conservation in the great plains states. If I get any info on ranavirus, I will post it. IMHO, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Your tiger is awesome!
Thank you, Terry, and thanks for the compliment on my tiger. This is my first venture into salamanders, and I'm already having a blast with him. He's a very aggressive/voracious eater, and is more active than I had expected.

I skimmed the topics of the symposium link, but I'm not sure that I'm any more informed about my specific questions. Regardless, I've bookmarked the link for future reference. I look forward to any info you gather from the conservation meeting in February.

To any other keepers of ETS, what are your opinions? Am I over-reacting, or is this something that really needs to be addressed? There is A LOT of care info out there, but surprisingly little info about diseases.
