Hello all,
My name is from Heleen, currently living in Orlando Florida, with a growing household of pets. Save for an African dwarf frog, I really haven't owned any amphibians, though I'm eager to change that.
I'm obsessed with interesting animals - both in appearance and in biology - and I'm happy to be soon adding some Axolotls to the mix. I currently have a large community tank with various fish (Dinosuar Bichir, large pleco, platies, mollies, barbs, snails, and a cory cat.) a smaller exclusive tank of puffers, and a side tank of feeder crabs. Currently also hatching Triops.
In another room I have female (or so I think....) Striped California King Snake, in a 20 gallon long tank.
I've recently contacted John Shronn on this site about Leucistic and White Albino axies.
I'd say my main concern is maintaining a low temperature - we keep the house fairly cool, but Florida isn't exactly a chily state. I read somewhere that you can put in ice bottles to cool the water, and I've read elsewhere that the drastic change in temperature from this method is merely stressful, so I'm a tad worried.
But nonetheless, I'm very excited, and if all goes well I may eventually look into breeding.
