Okay, so here's the story. Because of business and religious reasons, our family moved to Jordan, Aqaba to be more specific. It's already pretty nice here, but getting here took an extremely long time. Left from ATL to Chicago, Chicago to Amman (The longest flight) and from Amman to Aqaba. We were supposed to leave on Monday, but back in the ATL airport, we missed our flight due to the baggage checkers taking too long. We left on Tuesday, and arrived yesterday. We brought our dogs with us, and our herps, we will be coming back for in two weeks. Really excited to go sight-seeing, (And herping ;)) and I won't be as active anymore, simply because we are really busy again. Once we get settled, I promise I will be more active, and make sure my herps are fine. See ya on the flip-side!
 
You will be missed! :( But looking forward to your herping adventures (and pictures!!) when you get back! Best to you and your family my friend! :D
 
No, I mean, I'm already in Jordan, once we get settled I'll be more active, I'll still have short little check in's on this forum and frog forum
 
Wow, that's quite the move! Good to hear that you'll still check in on the forums. :happy:
 
I know! Right by the red sea, and it's beautiful. Can't wait for three things: 1, my birthday is coming up, (10-31) 2, in two weeks my dad will go back to Georgia to pick up the herps, and 3, I can't wait to go herping! This place is a lizard lovers paradise, I would only keep two species that I find. Also, tons of house geckos where I am though, going to try to get pictures tommorow
 
have fun:happy:
and save some neurergus from the isis! :D
 
I have explained this to my great grandmother, we aren't in a zone of conflict. Closest thing is Eilat, in Israel
 
To update this thread from the Amman airport, we will be going to Paris for our flight lay-over, and we will all be going to ATL, so I'll be able to report each of the herps as alive or dead once I get there. So excited!! Wish me luck!
 
To update this thread, Pretty much everything died. The only surviving members
were Lucy, Cliygh and Mia, Pirate, and my three Eastern newts and three Green
anoles. Really sucks, had spent a while even trying to get my hands on some
T.grans, and I was planning on breeding my tree-frogs:(
 
No-body, couldn't find anyone, so tried a last ditch effort of over feeding and watering them, so they would survive. Didn't work too well
 
Yeah, was going to breed my Green tree-frogs, and had spent a while even trying to get some T.grans

    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!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
