I was just curious if any of you have any love stories, of your spouses or significant others being herpers :) ideally I wanna end up with someone that loves the things I do, and I was wondering if that's possible!:p

My other half and I share a lot of hobbies. However, he isn't a herper, but he is very, very tolerant of it.

To me, thats even more special, because he isn't into it himself (except feeding the caecilians - he LOVES that) but he still loves me and lets me get away with it :)

My boyfriend pretends to hate my lotls but then I catch him talking to them and sneaking them extra worms when he thinks I'm not looking so I think he is a secret herper :happy:. I'm pretty lucky though, I regularly turn up with a new fuzz or slime ball and he just rolls his eyes and lets me get on with it.

My wife barely tolerates my amphibians and holds a pathological hatred for my fav frog Pinky. When Pinky dies I will get an autopsy on her to rule out foul play.

My partner is a fellow herper, she calls our tiger salamander speckles her baby. I want more and she agrees but it has to wait until we get more room and more tanks.

    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?
