Title: Rest Easy Abe
Post by: JackSpratt on January 16, 2012, 11:34:42 AM: Abe was a rather unconventional family member; she was a mandarin salamander. Just before coming to live with us she'd had two homes in the space of a month because people "got bored" of her. I have no idea how - Abe looked like she was perpetually smiling at you.... :Luv:

She passed away on Friday 13th January, 2012. I have only a rough idea of her age, but she'd been with us six years.

I will miss her happy little soul.

Rest Easy, Abe. Loved always, little one.

I'm sure six is a good age for a reptile.

RIP Abe.

Please don't apologise! Why would you have known? I just wanted to acknowledge what she was - but most of all, she was very dear to me regardless of species. :hug: :hug:

Post by: jezebel on January 17, 2012, 11:10:44 AM: I'll confess to not knowing the difference between a reptile and an amphibian!

I do like salamanders though, when I've seen them on wildlife programmes.

Post by: JackSpratt on January 17, 2012, 23:20:35 PM: Reptiles = predominantly land animals, amphibians = both land and water. ;) They're amazing creatures, all of them. :)
