THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! for your incredible website.
My son just received a Necturus ?? for his 5th birthday. Since our new friend's life span is into his college years, I want to make sure he/she gets the best care and home possible. I am having a rough time identifying his/her species. We have never had any animal other than the kitten/dog variety, although many a frog has been caught (and of course released) from the pond.
"Slippery" came with a Necturus Lewisi care sheet. He is 7 inches long with a very long vertically flat thin transparent tail (we can see his skeleton through it) and the flair gills like the young and mature Necturus kinds. But, he has no spots, is a light tan, comes up for big gulps of air, and most curious, Slippery has 5 toes on his back feet, instead of the four listed on all the species of Necturus. We really want to give him the best, please help me identify him so I can make sure his aquarium and surroundings and food are right when we go "Slippery" shopping today. Thanks so much.
