I am wondering if I have passed the point of obsession (with Axolotls) when I have a good group of friends playing drinking games and I excuse myself to check these forums....

I also make it a point to entertain my friends by feeding my Axies earthworms,

Anyone else experience this phenomenon?
 
Eric,

Glad to know I am not the only one! I think it's pretty well documented that I am an axoholic! Whenever I am out, I am worried about getting back to my axies....and the Forum. I watch the axies more than I watch TV!

Okay, I will really tell on myself here. I just had surgery two weeks ago. Upon waking from surgery, I worried about my axies who had not been fed yet as my surgery was early in the am :eek: (My kids were in school and then being kept overnight by a friend, so I only needed my cell phone for them).

I am about to clear out some of my reptiles, so I can devote more time to the axies. I no longer feel that I can devote the time needed to my reptiles. Between the kids, frogs, and axies - I'm pretty well tapped out. :eek:

So, perhaps that makes me worse than you...Maybe, we need another part to this Forum for some group therapy...Then, I guess I'd be spending even more time out here...oh no, that would take away from my time with my axies...never mind.
 
Haha yeah you know what, i'm a proper axie bore.
I cant spend longer than 10 minutes in the company of anyone without mentioning axolotls.
I used to come here on my phone like once an hour lol. I only slowed down coz my new phone doesn't work on this site.
I really do think we need help.

Lol Shannon I too recently had surgery and was dragging axolotl tubs about a lot sooner than i should have been! My Juvies went to stay at my moms and i worried about them the whole time!

I've been looking at new tanks, seen some nice big 5 footers which made me wonder if i really did need a sofa.....

lol...Thank you, Mel. I thought I was over-the-top with my surgery thing - nice to know I'm not the only one!

I did forget to mention that I, too, talk more about my axolotls then I do my kids! I have more photos of my axies on my computer than of my kids - hey, axies change faster!

I have also been debating the need for my coffee table! :D

btw: Mel, hope everything is okay!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
