Early emergents?

We've had mild weather lately here near Lake Erie so I've been taking advantage of it and went out last night with a flashlight looking for worms and other sources of free critter food... Not only did I find huge worms and but a dozen or more spring peepers hopping around on the ground. I've NEVER seen them out this early in the year like that and I've lived her all my life. The climate is changing for sure.

Yeah, it was so warm in Iowa the other day when I went out collecting there were insects flying around, and I remember when I was a kid we'd get a week off from school from all the snow

    It’s very dry in Colorado. I make sure to spritz every night so while I’m sleeping. I have a nifty hydrometer that I got from Walmart. It tells me blue, green, red; too little humid, good, too much respectively. It’s been helpful to me.

    Hey y'all, recently my juvenile axolotl's tail has been floating and can swim down but his tail lifts to an angle and I believe that it is stressing him out. He gets in between his plants to balance himself and I am cleaning out the bottom of the tank with my baster. I believe I overfed him and he also may have eaten many air bubbles. He's been like this for nearly 1 1/2 days.
