Hi everyone!
I'm not really new here, I joined a while back but haven't been active so I thought a reintroduction would be good. My name is Emily. Between my boyfriend and I we have a dog, cat, 2 geckos, 3 beareded dragons, an assortment of squirrels (I do wildlife rehab,) a salamander, a newt, a betta and a snail (do snails count as a pet? idk... lol. but i feel bad not to mention him!) I've had newts on and off for years. The newt I have now I've had for about 6 months. His name is Patrick and he lives in an aquarium with the betta and snail. I've heard bad stories about mixing species, so I chose something that I hoped was big enough that Patrick wouldn't try to eat - but docile enough not to bother him. Betta seemed a perfect fit. They get along, and even will lay near each other (bettas do rest on the rocks.) I've considered adding another fish or two, but don't wanna press my luck!! They also had a small female crab living with them, but she died a few weeks ago. Again with that, there was no aggression between any of the creatures. My salamander is an Eastern Tiger. I got him from a reptile store near by, after being on the look out for TWO years. Apparently waterdogs are unheard of as fishing bait here, so he was hard to come by. I've named him Marley, and I've had him only a few days. Marley lives in a ten gallon and seems to like it so far.
So that's me!
