Newts in the Bay Area

[mike]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a newt breeders/pet stores in the Nor Cal Bay Area that have C. Orientalis? For some reason, I can't locate any at all

.

Have you tried East Bay Vivarium in Berkley?

Hi Mike,

I live in the Bay Area and often times C.orientalis are sold in every fish shop.

These are 99.99% all WC, imported from Asia. Sad but true.

That being said, please drop me a private note, I have juvenile cb orientalis (which are harder to keep alive, so I need to know your experience with caudates.)

Actually Pin...I would think that WC orientalis would be just as hard...seeing the shape they often come in.

 

[pin-pin]

Joseph, yes that is true. I was more thinking from the viewpoint that juveniles can starve to death in a shorter amount of time and tend to need "smaller" food items, which may make them difficult for beginners.

Just curious, but how do you check for notes?

By "note", Pin-pin meant e-mail. If you go to anyone's user profile (click their name), it gives a click-on option to send that person an e-mail, even if their e-mail address isn't shown.

Er, notes? Usually my animals haven't resorted to leaving me notes. (Just kidding)

I replied to the e-mail you provided in your registration, in this case your hotmail account with the name damaclesXX. (XX being edited for your privacy)
