Hello everybody!
I'm Thijs, 12 years, from Belgium.
I'm passionate about all animals, but
especially true salamanders.
My first touch with salamanders was in my grandmother's garden,
i was like 6 or 7 years old and i found an alpine newt at her pond.
That animal fascinated me so much that i put it in a container to observate him, of course
i placed him after a few hours back at the place i catched him.
From that moment salamanders were my favorite animal (still actually).
After that i was searching for salamnders and newts all the time at the creek behind her
house. I found a few sp. over there;
Lissotriton helveticus, Lissotriton vulgaris and Ichthyosaura alpestris.
And once i bring a salamander home o, to my great regret he died almost immediately
. I was still young so i do not know that it was bad and illigal.
Now i'm old enough to know that its not good and bad for the fauna and flora over here.
I also went often with my parents to Austria. In Austria are alot of alpine salamanders and alpine newts so if i'm there i search for them all the time.
Now i have a trio of s.a.a. , of course CB, from 2015.
I really want some more salamandra sp. but my parents d'ont want that (for now:happy:).
So that is my story.
Sorry for my englisch, i'm still a kid
and I speak Dutch at home.
Greatings from Belgium!
