hey,
someone on another forum has just noticed her slimy salamander has laid eggs. now she's all excited because she's found a link about a zoo saying how rare it is for these to breed in captivity (Links http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071022/NEWS38/710220337 and http://www.toledozoo.org/discover/pressreleases/2008/Salamander hatches.pdf) Now I'm sure i've seen thes on sale CB in the UK (where alot of american species are pretty hard to get your hands on) and I'm wondering are salamander breedings so rare in captivity. I could understand if it was a tiger salamander or some other well know hard to breed species, but I'm wondering if zoo's are just blowing there own horns with things like this.
