Hey everyone!

It's been a long time since I've been on this site, but I was just really missing the good old days tonight. For absolutely no reason I got super emotional thinking about all the amphibians that I used to have. So I'm sitting here, totally in tears, in my dorm remembering all you amazing people that helped me even when I asked the most ridiculous and idiotic questions.

So thank you all for the years of support and friendship you provided me.

This is and always will be an amazing community of amazing people.

Much love,

Evan

Hi Evan :D

Through the years I have met so many amazing people and I've learnt so much. It feels like yesterday when I ambled in to learn more about axolotl. I was absolutely convinced that I was only ever going to keep these, after all I had a small hoard of children and no space. I think the chat room was my 'downfall' I remember chatting to the mighty Ed and Justin, who were brilliant at sharing their knowledge, they said I'd never only have axolotl...they were so right. The forum posts then taught me how to keep them :)
Along the way I have met some amazing people, and I have some great memories. I have Caudata to thank for this (and maybe a bit of FB) I have shed the odd tear along the way:cry: from being happy to complete frustration :ha: But one of the best things is seeing people blossom and follow their dreams. One day soon you'll be ankle deep in newts again :D

    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?
