Cute / Funny moments

RobM · Dec 19, 2010

I've had a good day with my newts, I found an intact skin and got some fun interaction from one of my c/h.orientalis. I thought I would start this thread so others can share cute and funny moments they have with their animals.

My c/h.orientalis have often followed my finger moving on the outside of the glass, and been attentive when they think its feeding time. But today when I was cleaning out their tank with a turkey baster one seemed especially interested in what I was up to. I hoovered the turkey baster just above and in front of his head and he moved towards it and nudged it with his nose as if he was sniffing it. Stupidly I found this very cute >_<, its not often amphibians interact with their keepers so I found it incredibly cute.

So do you have a story too? please share with us

I posted this somewhere once, but I was going to feed my T. grans and one of them got up on his back lets and waved his arms like ''look at me! Bring it here!" it was so cute and funny.

This year my C.pyrrhogaster are giving me lots of great moments. From mad males that look like they are on speed, to females sporting spermatophores attached to various and hilarious parts of their body.
I, however, had a very cute moment with my N.viridescens(or at least it´s cute for my twisted mind) last night when two of them who were shedding at exactly the same time and using one another as scrubbing material, ended up biting and eating each other´s skins in the confussion.

My N. Viridescens male was being fed via tweezers, and he accidentally swallowed some moss. After he gulped it down (along with the earthworm) he gave me the angriest look, as if he was stricken with disbelief that I would trick him into eating some moss!

Ah, yes, some salamanders and newts prefer vegetables. Here is a C. orientalis enjoy an egg salad. And yes, it was swallowed entirely.

It looks like the newt has a kind of small hippo like tooth in the pic! haha

a couple nights ago I came back from the next-door Xmas dinner and as staggered to bed (the newt tanks are in my bedroom), one of the fire bellies winked at me and said "bet ya wish ya didn't have that last glass, eh Mom?"

Yep, that was cute.

Ok, so its a new year. The award for best story last year has to go to Molch, unless anyone wants to dispute that it actually happened?
