I'm new on this forum

[MichaelS]

I'm new on this forum. I've bred amphibians for over 30 years and have a small part time business breeding and selling amphibians. Right now the only frogs I'm working with are orange Phyllobates terribilis and Pipa parva. I'm working with lots of salamanders. One of my bragging points is supplying c.b. ribbed newts to NASA for research. For several years they have done zero gravity work in outerspace with Pleuorodeles. This year my salamanders will stay on the ground and be spun at twice gravity in a 24 foot centrifuge.

(This part is fiction )> After they master stem cell growth and regeneration in newts they will apply that information to mammals. They will take some of my best brain cells and multiply them. When they shoot them back in my brain I will be brilliant!

I'm active on Dendroboard, Caudata.org, and post a lot on Kingsnake.com amphibian classifieds.

Welcome to the Forum

MichaelS,
That sounds very interesting. I hope the salamanders don't get too dizzy!
And I like the idea about the brain cells, I wonder if they could do that with mine! Or would that turn me into The Brain....Hmmmm

Enjoy the Forum,

Welcome to the forum Michael. It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge and experience with amphibians. You'll find that we are a lot nicer here than Dendroboard. Thanks for joining us.

OHH. Hi Paul. I was simply pointing out that my favorite way of raising D. hydei is the way that John said they should not be raised. When somebody says in their faq "you shouldn't do this" and it's the way I like to do it it gets my attention.

I hope you guys don't bust on Dendroboard all the time the way those guys on Salamandridae bust on Caudata.org.

[Paul Rust]

No Michael, we don't bust on Dendro. Unless they come over here looking to start trouble.
We are very tolerant and want to keep this forum friendly and helpful..

Well Lesley,
They could test the procedure by multiplying your best brain cells and inserting them into a genius and see if he becomes a monkey!

Poor Lesley!
Poor Paul! If I were Lesley, I'd smack you. :P Or send a rabid monkey to your house.

I know I have a good whooping coming when she sees it.

LMAO!! You are lucky I have a good sense of humor!

And no Whooping coming your way, I know you'd enjoy it WAY too much!
