Very New at having an Axolotl

Hi All,

I am from the beautiful Costa Rica but currently living in also beautiful Isle of Man.

A friend of mine had to leave the Island and moved back home so, she asked me to take care of her Axolotl as she couldn't take him with her. At first I was fascinated by him, his name is Quetzal and is turning 6 years in July, now... I just love him :happy:

I am very new at figuring out his needs, the stuff he likes and his care but the more I learn about these amazingly smart creatures, the more in love I feel. I'm even thinking about getting another one or a Tiger Salamander.... I had no idea of how beautiful amphibians could be and never thought of having one myself! For this I thank life and my friend.

I am a Spanish teacher and I consider myself very passionated about my profession too

Well, I hope I can learn as much as possible from you all and eventually contribute with the community myself.

Oh by the way, I came here because Quetzal's vet recommended the website :smile:

Cheers Everybody!

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy your axie, and kudos to that vet!

Hi Branwen and welcome to the forum. :happy:
I am also quite new to keeping axolotls as I've only had mine for just less than 3 months. Axolotls are adorable and it's difficult not to love them. A tiger salamander would be fascinating because you would eventually have a terrestrial salamander.
Also, many thanks to the vet for the recommendation, it is an awesome reflection on the founder for setting up such an amazing site, and the experienced keepers who help us out when we need advice.
:happy:
