    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi Alicia -

Unfortunately the computer I'm on won't pull up the pics, but the muds have the red triangles coming up the side and the "horny tail-tip", right?

I was heading to my parents for Sunday dinner and caught one crossing the road on a rainy night several years ago and let it go just down the street at their pond. It was the only one I had ever seen (I've lived in that area for 31 years) and it was beautiful. I hope you really enjoy them. :)

What are you going to be feeding them?

These guys, when i got them, were feeding on Green tree frogs.

So ill be feeding them that, while i locate, also, a good source for Amphiuma and Sirens and i want to try salamanders too.( i have been talking to LOTS of people about this... yeah. im crazy. but i really want to be successful with these guys!) For now, though, the frogs should work.

If they can take dead prey, that would be excellent....im going to try a few frozen frogs and go from there, because if i can do that, i can freeze all of the prey for them, and use it as i go. This way, i wont have to worry about taking care of the prey AS WELL :) and it growing too big for them to eat while im caring for em.

Ive got a BUNCH of frogs coming to me for tomorrow, that should last me a very good long while for these guys.

Thanks a bunch!
 
Those are diabolically HOT!!! 'Grats!! Can't wait to see them as they grow....

*runs off to research the species

:dgrin::dgrin:

Cheers,

Very nice! Good luck acquiring food for them. I've caught a few westerns but have never seen an eastern. Where did you get them?
