I bought a Chinese giant salamander on ebay and expect it in the mail any day.

Awesome! Pick one up for me! Actually, I think I'd rather have Andrias japonicus, but I'll take Andrias davidianus.

"Those are the last once, i stop now"

Sounds like a certain somebody I know with tattoos... the newest is always your last - until the next one.











It's not me by the way.

Although... I do want to EAT an axolotl. There it is, my big confession. I'd like a nice deep-fried axolotl!

I'm with ya. Except: they look so pale and squishy. Kinda like a large marshmallow. If there was a way to get them good and crunchy, with some bite to them, I'd love to have a plate of them too...

I'll post a picture of it when it arrives. They put another one up on ebay. It must be the partner to the one I bought.

I actually have some recipes for both the Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Achoque (which they list as Ambystoma dumerilii) in a cookbook I have called The Culinary Herpetologist. Now all I need are some axies...

You should! I think I know which one you are talking about...

I cultured for a couple of months tenebrio molitor hidden in my room. I went in London for 3 month forgetting about them but when I returned for xmas they were still there, so I left for another 3 months, but when I came back my mother said that there must been broken one of the filter because my room smelled vary badly. The culture was an enormous black stinky thing.

others experiments in my room where white worms, that made my room full of little moth, and a cup whith my first daphnia under the wardrobe.

I am not surprise my mother doesn't want this kind of think in my bedroom...

I am also afraid of spiders...

 

[yellowpebble]

I eat my axolotl's pellets. They are not bad. One for you... one for me!

I am currently trying to work how to secrete some little red spotted newts into my home. Hubby is not keen on my hobby...

I now have some little Red spotted newts... and no one has noticed them yet

When I left home at the tender age of 18 my parents actually got Rentokil in to deal with the escapee invertebrates I left behind. They have never spoken about it with me. To this day they think I don’t know they fumigated my room. My sister couldn’t keep it to herself.

Lol, i have the same attitude to pandas, when the last one dies i will shed a tear for my dream of eating a panda sandwich will die with it.

I do have a confession... if while at the LFS, I see an axie or a fish I would like to buy, I feel a little over protective of it.
As we do while at the LFS, we like to look at everything, so while going around the store, I will keep running back to my chosen axie/fish, to make sure nobody else looks as if they want it.. as in, I will eye everyone off...

That's OK though, right? Nobody wants their chosen pet to be brought by somebody else.... right?

I like the smell of them haha.
One time while sniffing o) I fell over a bucket and one got in my mouth... you must have a different brand... because somebody told me to be quiet because the neighbours might call the police.
Um... no more sniffs just in case haha.


Pstt.... do you try their worms as well?
