What do you recommend?

(I really like the wild type morphs [rather than] other morphs)

I agree. I don't care for albino or luecistic specimens. Same for Axies. Give me the option of wild type and I will buy. I have always felt that these specimens were prone to probs as they are not naturally a prominent endemic. There is a reason.

I just finished reading the thread and I feel a fool. I hold my opinion, but... This person is a thirsty, consumer who has 0 regard for the specimens purchased. All that matters is reputation, status, and $ recouped/earned(what a joke). I f you consider yourself a passionate and dedicated breeder/enthusiast, would you ask what to obtain??? Or would you work with species you were 'Invested
in'??? Let's be objective...

I am not a witch hunt poster. I do, however, look at the content of posts. I guess that is all I should say. I have 0 species for sale, but if you are interested, we can work together... ;D

The OP is a teenager, so I give benefit of the doubt he may not have control of all circumstances involved. The pets I had in my teens were by permission from my parents, and though I was lucky enough to have a studio apartment to cram a vivarium and aquarium into in college, not everyone is. I hope everything will work out for people and animals alike.

And you see, this is why I don't really care for this forum. People who come in and think their right because of a bit of green rep, or their collection is better than theirs. All that matters is the animals. Not the people. I love my pets more than my family. You think that I'm irresponsible, but the truth is, when I become 14, I am going to volunteer at the Atlanta zoo to go on the road of becoming a herpetologist. And one more thing. I think frog forum is the superior forum, because you can crack a joke on frog forum, but here, if you do, you get banned. Honestly, now I wish I had only made an account on frog forum, but once I give away the animals I currently have, I am moving all of my focus onto frog forum to join the community there. Gooday to you all

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

And also ban me if you will. More proof for other people who come onto this forum

When exactly has someone gotten banned for joking?, if its offensive and repeated I can understand that, but other than that, the forums are both John's, the rules are generally the same

And it's not your job to talk about how I can get involved in the hobby. I love them just as much as you, but I am not as old as you, which makes me wrong doesn't it?

It's not the actual forum that is bugging me, it's the people! Everyone thinks that their right in their beliefs, and if someone else comes along saying something else, they are wrong and shouldn't own any animal, ever

auntiejude said this:

TBH there are some people I want to tell to give their axie to someone who knows what they are doing, and get a pet rock instead. But apparently that would make me a b1tch, so I muster all my patience and try and help people.

I have to say that I feel the caudata forum is far more civilised than most, occasionally discussions get out of hand but this occurs much more regularly on other forums. I think you'll probably find that frog forum is almost exactly the same, especially since many of the members are active on both sites. I also have to say that some comments on this thread are totally unjustified and were not called for, nor did they add any value to the thread -posts by more than one member. I think we should consider our own behaviour on the forum before we criticise the behaviour of others...

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

I have, and thinking about it, I am just going to leave this stupid hobby anyway, just caused a bunch of problems to begin with

People said Rome was civilized. But it resulted in slavery of the African Hebrew Isralites, and eventually died off. And reptiles and amphibians are unclean, read Leviticus 11:31

Oh, and this is the comment everybody likes. Figures

And what if I wanted something way too hard to take care of? Honestly, I like Tarichia
granulosa, but everyone else said the ribbed newt, but they were not common, so I asked if they were for sale. Honestly I wish you hadn't joined the conversation and kept your feelings to yourself, because you got me worked up

Caudata.org is like a lot of other stuff on the web.

It is a great source for information.

Their is a lot of misinformation.

It is amazing the advanced hobbyists and professionals you have access to.

It is amazing the amount of baiting, bickering, and back stabbing that goes on.

It is to controlled.

It is not controlled enough.

I am a genius.

I am an idiot.

Axolgames ✌? duh

Owning a pet is not a "hobby" for starters.

I don't consider my dogs as a hobby, they are my pets, the same as my fish, the same as my 2 axolotls.

They are hard to care for sometimes, if they get sick or hurt, it can be stressful, it can also be expensive.

I know you are young, and probably feel attacked. But that's going to come with almost everything in life.

Ignore what you feel isn't helping you, and respond to what is.

Don't leave the "stupid hobby" you call owning a pet just because of a few negative comments towards you.

Maybe instead of asking on a new thread, use the search feature and do some research and write down pros and cons of each on a piece of paper, then make a board, list both pros and cons for both, explain your situation, then see what answers you get.

You'll be far more respectable if you take it upon yourself to educate yourself on the subject.

 

[avitalpanda]

i would recommend axolotls thier awesome pets and easy to care for and dont require alot of space and fun to show off and feed

 

[jAfFa CaKe]

It's unfortunate. That someone of 13 should be spoken to like that, or fell as if he is not wanted or is not taken seriously. I hope you don't take those comments to heart and carry on doing what you enjoy. I rarely post on here anymore, I don't feel the need to really. I'm not a particularly valued member, and the community on here seems to be falling apart. Which is a real, real shame. Oh, and please,please do not bring religion into this forum, it tends to cause a lot of problems.
