[alex]

they sell amphibians at iad too or is it all educational.

 

[edward]

No there is a sale on both days as well as an auction on Sunday.
I think the IAD site has been updated, you should check there.

[alex]

[jon]

where is this being held?

 

[foster]

I was planning on going however I may have to work on that Saturday, which is too bad because I was looking forward to the lectures. I may go to the Carolina show in Raleigh that Sunday instead though.

Ed, would it be possible for you to post some of that amphibian nutrition info here? Or even email it to me? It's something I've only just started to really look into, and I'd love to read what you have to say!

 

[michael]

I'll definately have axolotls. I'll probably have 5 types. I might have juvenile fire salamanders and Triturus. Other than that salmon pellets, dart frogs, etc. Some other people might put a few salamanders at my table. Their are usually some nice salamanders for sale at the show but it is mostly dart frogs.

 

[alex]

what types of salamanders do they have for sale usually and in the auction will they be auctioning off amphibians.

 

[edward]

There are occasionally amphibians in the auction. It depends on what they get for donations.
The only salamanders that can be sold there are cb ones.

Also for those who are interested,
unless there is a cancellation, Dr. Max Nickerson (author of The Hellbenders) will be there to speak on hellbender conservation and ecology as part of the Saturday night talks.

[leah]

Any chance that you could email some of it?

I won't mind if you can't, I'll just have to think of some questions to ask!

 

[nicholas]

Party.

 

[edward]

Hi Leah,
The last I checked what I had accumelated was summerized in 35 type written pages excluding photos.....

Ed,
I do not want to start a flood of requests but if you decide to make this available I would be interested in a copy as well (I'll pay for any material and time costs).

Hmm, maybe it could be put into the caudata magazine. What do you think Ed?

 

[edward]

It technically is in press but production costs are holding the entire thing up. If it doesn't fly then I would seriously consider offering some or all of it for the caudata magazine.
