• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

I have had my barred tiger salamander for about three years now and he has always been a very good eater. Recently, however, he just doesn’t seem very interested in food and has gone about 9 days now without eating. He is a good weight (not at all underweight) and I know he has enough fat storage to go a little bit without eating but I am getting increasingly concerned.
His temp is about 65 degrees or so and he is currently not on substrate but instead on paper towels (he is prone to skin infections and due to several instances of open sores, I have had to have him on paper towels for about ten months now in order to keep everything clean. It really works wonders). I do my best not to keep him too wet, but the paper towels are never totally dry. I have not changed anything recently that might stress him and stop him from eating.
I’ve never been able to get him to eat a pinky, but he is usually very quick to snatch up different types of worms and crickets.

Is it possibly he is feeling the barometric pressure change with fall coming in? I really cannot think of any other reason why a usually voracious eater would suddenly completely stop. If you guys can think of anything, please let me know! I’m very worried about my little boy!! 
