So I heard there was a bit of an earthquake in Virginia today. I understand it wasn't all that bad, still....thinking of certain caudata members with racks upon rickety racks piled high with tanks...oh my. :eek:

Any damage? All newts accounted for? :ufo:

I felt it in NY at work, the building started shaking. First I thought, OK, that's enough caffeine and sugar for one day. Then I realized it wasn't me, and all I could do was imagine myself in the rubble with 1700 male inmates on the loose. Of course nothing much happened, but it was felt by many along the east coast. The picture in the newspaper today showed the epicenter, in Virginia, just over Justin's house. I think all his tanks exploded with eggs, causing the massive 5.8 quake.

we haven't heard from Justin......that might be a bad sign. Hope he's not mopping up spilled tanks and capturing liberated newts

Yeahh I was at my couch on the second floor in NY and was on the computer and all of the sudden I feel my couch shakeing.At first I ignore it.Then it gets slightly more vibrant and I start thinking that theres some structual damage with my house(my house is around 100 years old and have had many problems before)So I ask my sister to sit next to me and see if shes feeling it too.She think's it's me since I'am a bit of a jokester and I had my feet on the table(yes bad maners lol) so I take them off and it's still shaking.Then I hear my next door nieghbors screaming ''Its an earthquake!''That's when I was aware of the situation.

    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?
