Alright before i am written off as ditzy, i have always been piqued by who is the oldest member on caudata.

Julia has always whinged about her being as old as the hills, creaking with every step and appearing more vintage than the antique grandfather clock. Please allay her fears and my curiosity and perhaps kindly drop a clue on the age of the oldest registered member.

I'm older than Julia. I know a couple famous amphibian authors that appear to be older than me. They have been members but I don't know if they have maintained their membership.

Seventy One huh? Wouldn't happen to be my grandma would it? Seriously, she's a member here.

Too bad it's actual age, cause I feel pretty darn old most of the time.:rolleyes:

I'm unwillingly past the half-century mark, but I can't beat 71. Maybe I'm in the top 10? (or bottom 10, nobody envies aging once you get past about 21)

Respectfully,

This thread prompted me to have a look at the database. There was a really high number of people with fake ages. Not any more though - I've deleted their accounts.

Well, I'm past the speed limit in the US!
Perhaps a new question would be "How old do you feel?"

I disagree, I've been looking forward to turning 25!!! Maybe it's just me though.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
