Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Cohabitation
I was wondering if a slender garden newt could cohabitate with dart frogs. Specifically A. Galactonotus and Batrachoseps Major Major. The slender garden salamander is small, about an inch and a quarter long and won't get a lot bigger and it's nocturnal. I'd expect it would bust burrow and come out infrequently at night.

A wild caught newt housed with a non-sympatric animal with a naive immune system is a poor way to house either of these species. Also, the risk of predation by the frog cannot be discounted -- captive darts are known to attempt to eat very unlikely prey. Also, Batrachoseps major is living at the edge of its thermal tolerance in much of California (likely microhabitat preferences are very important in that part of its range), as it would be housed in tropical conditions with a Dendrobatid.
Why not a vivarium for each? That's by far the responsible way.

Thanks, I've only held it for a couple days, I think I'll release it back into its native micro climate this evening. Yeah, the predation risks are probably way too high and it probably has a better chance to reintegrate, and hopefully reproduce back in the wild. He was a nice little friend. And now that I know these live right outside my front door, I'll be sure to do what I can to ensure a suitable environment for this guy and his buddies.

So amazing. For comparison to other localities, this one was observed in Laguna Beach in a low natural light less than a quarter mile from the ocean. He was living in and around bromeliads. Guess I'm going to plant a bigger bromeliad garden.

We have plethodontids in Wisconsin -- amazing little things. I live just a little south of the range of Plethodon cinereus, but I've seen them up north -- curled up under logs, protecting eggs. It is hard to describe why they're more fascinating than Ambystoma, but I think they are.
Neat animals -- you're lucky to have them right outside.
