Hello everyone:wink:
I am Linda and at 60 have only just discovered this forum after acquiring 2 axolotls for the school I am temporarily working at. I used to keep axolotls and african xenopus many years ago (along with various reptiles) when they were not very common - at least not as pets, and information was all from laboratories and other scientists. I was a lab technician at the time and we used the xenopus for pregnancy testing and the axies for demonstrating development and regeneration. This was 40 years ago and I am very pleased to see how popular they both have become as pets now. I am now looking for some wild type for myself as I believe it is very important that the wild type are preserved aspecially now they are so very rare in their natural habitat, although some of the varieties around now are quite beautiful!
Anyway, happy holidays to all and thanks for the opportunity to join a community dedicated to my favourite animals.:lick:
