Hello from Juneau, Alaska!

[honguita]

Greetings from Alaska!

I'm relatively new to amphibian companionship, but am thoroughly enjoying my trio of Chinese Fire Belly newts. They are totally sweet. I've been interested in newts since I was a kid and my best friend told me she had found some on Shelter Island when she was camping (t. granulosa, perhaps?). We don't have a lot of amphibians up here, so the novelty totally fascinated me. In addition to the newts, we have five dogs, two cats, two ferrets, one angora bunny, a goldfish and a pleco. We also have snails, though I don't have a good count on them. I guess, in terms of what my interest is here, I am looking for advice and am interested in other people's pets. Oh, and I love the pictures. There's some incredibly talented photogs on here. Wow.
Take care and talk to you soon,
Julie

Welcome to Caudata, glad you found us. I've been a member here for a while I guess, but I love to read people's posts, rather than post myself. Hope you have a great time here, and hopefully you find all the answers you are looking for.

P.S.
What a large number of pets you have. Great that you're such an animal lover!

Okie dokie, I've submitted a long overview of my questions, etc, under the Cynops category (I hope that was the right spot for all my questions, might have been more appropriate for the newbie category). Will post a link from here to it once it's been approved by the moderators. Thanks!! :happy:

Aww... thank Plethodonae for the warm welcome!
Yes, we do have quite the little family. I really love being around animals of all sorts -- the best companions I've ever had. Some folks complain about there not being enough to do around town here, but I tell you what--I always find myself busy. LOL!
