Ribbed Newt Care & Breeding

[tgampper]

Hi Frank:
Thanks for another great article! I have a place in my heart for newts and salamanders. I started my herping hobby at age 9 living in Florida. A couple years later, my parents and I moved to Germany (newt country!) I loved getting into lakes and streams observing Alpine newts, great crested newts, smooth newts and the common fire salamanders. I can remember that my interest in amphibians really took off. I have both of your Newts and Salamander books, I highly recommend them

How kind of you to write, Terry, thank you. Must have been something to be in Germany as a child...I did not get to see most of those fantastic species until adulthood, and then only at the zoo. Germany and several other European countries have always been ahead of us in newt care, planted terrariums etc. Happy, healthy new year, Frank
