My proposal for the next banner:

What would I do with all the space in my house if it wasn't all taken up by caudate tanks?

(but seriously, thanks! :happy:)
 
So true :D
Before i found this site my house used to have something. I seem to recall it was called s....space?
Then again, before this site i was an ignorant fool.
I love you C.org.....*blink**blink*
 
"Where would my hobby be without Caudata.org?"
That's right. You're welcome!

I dread to think of this possibility.
 
Several thousand dollars richer and definitely not as well prepared for my own episode of "Hoarders."
 
I'd still only have my fire bellies and I'd be sitting in an empty house wondering if there are any other newt nuts out there in the world
 
I would probably be bored out of my mind or have picked up some random hobby like bottle cap collecting...oooh or button collecting! So many different colors, shapes, sizes....:rolleyes:
 
I'd probably be more active on Dendroboard. I was a member of another salamander forum but left in a snit.

I would never have met Bill, Dawn, and lots of other email and personal friends and that would be a shame.
 
My boyfriend would still have the original 5 miscellaneous fire-bellies, and I would still have the paddle-tails, but I wouldn't have as much knowledge, and we wouldn't have the marbled newts or kaiser's spotted newts. My little newts wouldn't have sampled waxworms or earthworms, and I might never have had the knowledge required to raise little Teddy to his terrestrial stage (and hopefully to adulthood)
I also wouldn't have met the lovely people I have encountered on here :)
Thank you Caudata.org!
 
I know I'd have a lot more free time, and a lot less stress-induced wrinkles.

I'd probably spend more time in the woods, but then who would I run home to tell what I found? Thanks Caudata.org!
 
I would definitely have more free time, but I wouldn't have met half the interesting people that I have, and I would have seen a lot fewer salamanders.
 
Before I came to this site, I thought there was only one newt in the whole world, the red-spotted newt local to this area. I had no idea there were many many species of newts and salamanders! And that I wanted so many of them! But the other really great thing IS all the people I met through here. Just thinking right now, I'm surprised at all the people I actually met through here!
 
My hobby would be... I don't know I wouldn't have Axel or any of my sals. I wouldn't know the awesome people in here. Would have space in my room, and a lot less animals. I would be sitting on a computer more than I already do in the afternoon... I overall would probably be normal... :p
 
As some hobbyst says, before the site i was an ignorant, as i joined i meet people who think and live like i, and share good experience and helpfully info, constantly actualized!!! Thanks for your existence Caudata.org!:wacko:
 
Think i would still be telling people that 'i've got a deformed fish thats got arms and legs'. Thanks caudata, and thanks to all who i've talked to and who have helped me, very much appreciated.
 
I'd never know what an Axolotl is, and I'd have nothing to do in December! I would also have a basement that smells of things other than worm composts and pond water.
Thank you Caudata.org, for helping me discover an amazing hobby and amazing people!

:errr: My husband and Family would still think that my sister-in-law "was weird".:eek:
 
My salamander would be in poorer health that is for sure, i had so many questions and still do, and everytime i would type in a very specific questions regarding salamander care this website would pop after reading the forums, about so many different types of newts and salamanders, i had to join so i can read about them all. But seriously thank you, caudata.org and all those who answer noobs's (like me) questions.
 
Without Caudata.org, my wife would think I was the only salamander hobbyist type wierdo on the planet... love this place... Thanks for all the great advice everyone!

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
