Chad's intro

Hi,my name is Chad. I'm thrilled to have found this forum and more importantly other salamander enthusiast. I have at times felt as though I was the only one on the planet that enjoys amphibians. How many times have I explained that a salamander is not a reptile, it's crazy. When I was a teenager I kept tigers sal,axolotl's and mudpuppies for 10yrs + and enjoyed the art of building terrariums and aqua_terrariums. I have spent a ton of time collecting moss and flipping stones in multiple states.
I took a break from the hobby for about 10yrs. Never losing the passion just the commitment (I am a man, commitment still scares me)lol. So my fire has been re-kindled and I am overwhelmed at what is available on the internet (salamanders) and this forum (a collaboration of great minds). I hope to contribute to intelligent conversations and I'm sure I can come up with a few questions for others in the knowing.

Welcome to the forum! There's no lack of intelligent discussion on salamanders here. Happy reading!
