Hello to everyboby.
I'm Italian and I've been living in New York City for 3 months. I'm 15 and very fond of reptiles and amphibians! I'm desperately looking for some reptiles enthusiasts (both of my age or adults) here, near my house because I don't have any and I'm suffering without talking about my passion.
My e-mail is fabrizio_livigni@yahoo.it. If you live in New York City, in Long Island, or wherever is near by Nassau County, please contact me!!

Thanks,
Fabrizio.
 
Hi Fabrizio,

I was living close to NY some years ago. There is a herp society (NYHS, http://www.nyhs.org/). There are enthusiasts both for amphibians and (mainly) for reptiles. I think Mike Hano is the "president", whom I knew pretty well at that time. They are pretty active and have a meeting with a talk every month. I once gave there a talk about German Amphibians.
Check them out and Say hello to Mike and Luis de Armas (newt friend).

Thank you very much, Uwe.

I'm still open to receive other posts from anybody.

Hi,
I'll add that I like very much amphibians, mainly caudates. I also love lizards.

At the moment I keep 1 Hyla versicolor, 1 Ambystoma maculatum, 1 Kaloula pulchra and two Notophtalmus viridescens. I'm expecting for some fire salamanders and then other animals.

I wrote 4 articles in Italian, 3 for "Il Mio Acquario" and 1 for "Reptilia & Co".

Best regards,
Fabrizio.

    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
