New Salamandra group

Hi Travis,

Good luck with this. I have just read your intro to the group and I thought I should point out that scientific names have formatting rules. These are simple and easy to remember.<ul>[*]Scientific names should ideally be italicised where possible <LI>The genus name (for example, <font color="ff0000">Salamandra</font> in <font color="ff0000">Salamandra</font> salamandra terrestris) should always begin with a capital letter, irrespective of its usage <LI>The species name (<font color="ff0000">salamandra</font> in Salamandra <font color="ff0000">salamandra</font> terrestris) should be entirely lower case, irrespective of its usage <LI>The subspecies name, if present (<font color="ff0000">terrestris</font> in Salamandra salamandra <font color="ff0000">terrestris</font>) should also be entirely lower case, irrespective of its usage <LI>Strictly speaking we should only abbreviate genus and species names if they have already been used in the current text[/list]All the best,

John
 
Oh thanks John, although I must admit this isn't my group. It is run by a fellow named Martin and he is the one who wrote this intro.
I will send him the link to this post so he can see your comments though.
Thanks,
Travis
 
Travis...

*great idea, count me in;
*shame you are not in the uk!
*is it me or is Yahoo the most enormous pain in the rear... anything you do re passwords, usernames, joinging groups entails a long wait for email confirmation?!
*nice picture in the Yahoo informaiton about the list - gigliolii right?

Best//M
 
Matthew,
Yahoo is sort of a pain. I am not the one who created the group,Martin is the creator and I think he is over in your neck of the woods. I beleive that the main page is a giglioli picture. Look forward to seeing you on the list.

    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
