    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....

Hello, All

I am at a dilemma between getting fire sallies or tiger sallies.

I am enamored with the sardonic smile and beady eyes of the tiger
But they are eating machines and are nocturnal as well as require special substrate

The fire sallies looks like the tiger and are easy to take care of.

I am open to suggestions.

Much appreciations,

Quetzal
 
Addition

I would like to add that tigers are pooping machines and secretive...
But a bit less expensive than fires.

Thank you,

Quetzal
 
Personally, I love my spotted fire salamander. I keep mine in a 24x17x7 (iirc) sterilite bin and will be moving him into a planted bioactive 24x18x12. He hunts for his food (which is a treat to watch), and I'm always finding him in different spots or hearing him thump around in the night. Visually, fire salamanders are striking. I love watching mine and find their grumpy faces so incredibly charming. John Clare from caudata.org produces many different subspecies annually!
