Hello All,

Just got back from North Brittany France where I went away with my family for a week’s holiday. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sneak in some herping with my Dad so we sneaked off most nights as the drinking was coming to an end.

Although we didn’t even have to go much more than 20m from our door in the day to find our first French Fire Salamander S.salamandra.terrestris.

Also got the chance to show my nephew his first wild Fire Salamander and he cant stop talking about them now.:D

Here are some pictures

It is always stunning to find these guys in the wild! Thanks for the pictures! :)
 
Awesome find! Unfortunately, I live in an area completely devoid of caudates. Must be nice to come across such a cool species and to see it doing well in the wild.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
