Hey all,

May be old news to some but new for me. Thought I would share and educate.

Scientists have discovered a new strain of chytridiomycosis.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis which we though to be the originator of all the deaths now has a problematic brother in crime with the amphibian decline, specifically found in salamanders and tested on other amphibians. (Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans).

Lets do our best to keep this one at bay and NOT mix amphibian species at home and not release unwanted amphibians. Also don't just throw dead amphibians down the toilet or bury them in your backyard. Make sure you freeze them first then soak them in isopropyl alcohol to help prevent the spread of this deadly fungus or any disease for that matter.

Very Respectfully,
