Hi there,
I'm new, my name is Natalie and I'm from Maine USA. I have been interested in amphibians and reptiles since I was a kid and when other little girls had dolls in their bedroom I had aquariums filled with all types of critters.
Currently, I have 7 Ambystoma maculatum (Spotted Salamanders) that I raised from eggs I found in a vernal pool close by where I live. I have 9 Pseudacris crucifer (Spring Peeper Frogs) that I raised from tadpoles in a 30 gal terrarium. 1 Eastern Painted Turtle (Tippy) that I found 4 1/2 years ago. Tippy, was only the size of a quarter, now 8 inches, he resides in a 100 gal aquarium with large cichlid fish. I also have another 30 gal tank with just fish.
Eventually, I hope to get a breeding pair of D. azureus (Blue Poison Dart frogs).
I don't know "anyone" who shares my interest in amphibians or even likes them. My husband is very tolarant of the 4 aquariums in our living room but doesn't share my love of them and I hope to find nice people here that are as interested in the care and raising of amphibiams as I am.
Thanks!
Nat
