what made you want a pet??

when you were looking for a pet, what made you decide to get the one you have??

have you ever given a pet to someone else, if so why??

when your pet is not around what reminds you of them??

what kind of relationship do you have with your pet??

This year I decided to breed my Axolotls so I researched on their breeding and found that if you lower their water temperature it can cause them to breed as this occurs in the wild when mountain ice melts and enters the lake which they inhabit below. To my surprise... after a few weeks of adding ice to my Axolotl's tank I found a huge amount of little white eggs all over the aquarium plants!

I removed these eggs and hatched them accordingly. They were required to be housed seperatly as they can bite each other which may cause them to lose limbs or external gills!

I was just wondering if anyone else kept these aaxolotl's, or if you don't...I hope you can find my little factsheet on them quite interesting. Not many people I come accross understand what axolotls are. So I thought it would be good for me to be informative :D.

This is a warning to anyone who keeps or may be wanting to keep stick insects,
Stick insects are members of the class Arthropoda and the order
Phasmatodea, they are herbivores, spending their lives on foliage, moving slowly, depending mostly on camouflage to save them in a world of hungry predators, there are over 3.000 known species of stick insect and species such as the American Walking Stick (Anisomorpha bupestroides) and to a lesser extent Pink Winged (Sipyloidea sipylus) have a defensive chemical spray which in the case of American Walking Stick (Anisomorpha bupestroides) can cause temporary blindness and considerable pain to an adult,(this happend to me), if you are going to get stick insects or have some and wish to get more i suggest researching the species first before getting them. ]]> Insects , Snails and other exotic pets rob158 http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/70445-toxic-stick-insects.html giant african millipedes wanted http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/70442-giant-african-millipedes-wanted.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:09:24 GMT is there anyone who can tell me the name of a supplier of giant african millipedes or are selling them. is there anyone who can tell me the name of a supplier of giant african millipedes or are selling them. ]]> Insects , Snails and other exotic pets rob158 http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/70442-giant-african-millipedes-wanted.html i need help to find a supplier of fruit beetles in the uk http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/70441-i-need-help-find-supplier-fruit-beetles-uk.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:05:23 GMT any suppliers will do that are in the uk. any suppliers will do that are in the uk. ]]> Insects , Snails and other exotic pets rob158 http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/70441-i-need-help-find-supplier-fruit-beetles-uk.html albino GALS :-) http://www.petforums.co.uk/insects-snails-other-exotic-pets/69631-albino-gals.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:22:11 GMT Here are Ronnie & Reggie
