Just curious...

Falkor's name is from The Neverending Story. The way he moves reminded me of the dragon in the movie. I just hope he does turn out to be male (too small to tell still) because the name has already stuck...

The 4-eyeds (Anableps anableps) I had definitely had a good memory. They knew me and my dog, but whenever anyone else or another animal would go into the room, they'd get scared and try to hide on the bottom of the tank. Quite funny to watch (they have no swim bladders, so they swim along the surface like a snake)- they reminded me of people trying to stay underwater, using their fins to push them down. Cute! My puffers also knew me and were very distrustful of strangers, hiding in their caves when newcomers were about. Each had a very distinct personality. Those guys were intelligent- they'd actually look me in the eye and stare me down when they wanted food. Cute little guys!

Falkor is reacting more to me everyday, so it'll be interesting to see how he develops from here

Do you think that if your axolotl sees you too much he might not ever recognize you? I've had my axie for two months, and he doesn't display any of this behavior. Sometimes he fails to recognize food. His tank is right by my desk, and he sees me all day (when he was a juvenile his container was actually on my desk). If I'm around all the time, will he fail to recognize the feeding part?
 
lauren,

you have only had your baby a little while, give him time. Some axies are quicker at picking this up than others, for example i know quite a few peoples axies will pick food up off the bottom of the tank... mine on the other hand have never done this and i cant seem to get the to learn.

Both my axies also come to me when it is feeding time, but othertimes when it isnt food and just me tidying there tank up they still come and see if i have ayting for them.

The trick is to jut keep trying

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
