I'm from a group of cities on the Illinois / Iowa border known as the Quad Cities.
I’m a casual hobbyist and avid conservationist. In the past I have had several newts and at one point maintained a rainforest tree frog enclosure. Most recently, however, I had a rescued paramesotriton hongkongensis for over 15 years. He finally succumbed to newt bloat which was sad but he did have a nice long life as a (most likely) wild caught captive.
Currently, I find myself a new grandpa looking seriously at semi-retirement with an empty aquarium and a need to get connected to something salamandery (I'm sure that's a word).
Thanks to all of you for being that way also (I mean the salamandery part) and here as well.
