Nice to hear from you again; I’m glad the snakes are doing well; here’s a link to the <a href="http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatreptileblog/2009/06/10/the-northern-watersnake-and-its-relatives-in-the-wild-and-captivity/" rel="nofollow">Watersnake article</a> you mentioned. Try contacting<a href="nate@swaneesexotics.com, " rel="nofollow"> this supplier</a> for Eastern Newts; they may not be available until early spring. A group in a planted aquarium would be very interesting, and breeding is possible. Please check this article on their care and natural history. The only mainly land-dwelling turtles in that region are wood and box turtles, but there’s always a chance of finding a released exotic. Please send a photo or 2 to me at <a href="findiviglio@thatpetplace.com " rel="nofollow">findiviglio@thatpetplace.com </a>and I’ll try to ID it for you. Ich usually takes hold when the Betta has been stresses by rapidly changing water temperatures (since they are often kept in small bowls)…any commercial Ick medication should be safe, <a href="http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/10997/product.web" rel="nofollow">this Hakari product i</a>s for delicate fish, and might be useful in small tanks, but any are fine as long as you adjust the dosage. Good luck with the fish, I look forward to seeing your turtle photo. Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello Kyuki, Frank Indiviglio here.

If so, whats the best way to successfully cure ick in bettas? Sorry for such a long comment, I have all these question that not even pet store owners and long time pet owners can answer.
