    Re: My BLACK NECKS are coming!!!

    I hope the little girl that regurged does ok! Do you know which one it was so that you can give her tummy a break?

    I find it very funny that he bit off the tales or do salamanders let go of their tales when they are distressed? If they do then I guess he needs to be a little faster!

    I know the one that regurgitated. I opened up her sandwich box to put her back in the enclosure, when she opened up her mouth, I tried to stop, but it was too late.

    And Salamanders do break off tails, when we catch them I am careful to grasp them by the upper body. (My daughter did excellent, since she found most of the little ones.)

    Considering he was not all that lively, and seems to have more energy already, I am sure his speed will improve with time.

    For now since they are a little skittish, I have all 3 in that grass tank, and several salamanders, the dace minnows keep jumping out of the water bowl, I need some guppies, something that won't jump out of the bowl.

    Once I settle on names, at least one is going to be "MoJo" if that's OK????

    I am flattered that you would call one MoJo! I think if the male makes it he should be Mojo since you must have added some good mojo with him!

    Re: My BLACK NECKS are coming!!!

    My Mojo must not have been enough, Today the little fella expired.

    All at the same time, the girls have become pigs, so I cannot feel too bad.

    So here is the one I named "Miss MoJo" or just MoJo for short. She is the best eater, She never turns down the food.

    Look how fat she has got already

    Caught some small Dace from the creek, and some kind of small aquatic newt, and 4 small salamanders to let run loose in the tank.
