I got two new friends today for my educational/conservation program, Salamander With A Sign. These guys are pretty stinking rare. A threatened species due to loss of habitat and poaching for the pet trade. We searched for months on end for Western Barred Tiger Salamanders like these ones. They are so hard to find. So I think they need hard to find names. Cryptid names perhaps? Or names that reflect how elusive they are.
We've got one male and one female! The plan is to breed them for the conservation project. What should we call them?
Hello everyone! I'm CollieflowersBark. You can call me Collie. I have been searching for a long time for a nice art platform to share and socialize on, so when someone recommended Sheezy I knew I had to hop on and give it a go.
A little bit about me...I make my living selling stickers and artwork on Etsy. I've been building up an arsenal of stickers, but I have also been dabbling in keychains and bookmarks. I love making and sharing my art with people and it makes me so happy when someone comments that it gave them a smile.
On the side, I also rescue and rehabilitate salamanders at Salamander With A Sign. Morphed axolotls and tiger salamanders are my specialty! I have written a few care guides on the topic and we are currently, under the guidance of experienced researchers, beginning a conservation centered breeding project for tiger salamanders.
I haven't had a good place to post my artwork in ages, so I've got a lot of catching up to do! Don't be afraid to drop by and say hello. I'd love to connect with other artists who share my interests. (Or artists who can gift me some brand new interests too)
I'm excited to be a part of Sheezy. This place looks amazing!!
P.S.
Here's a picture of one of my salamanders. His name is Norbert.
OMG I made a Sheezy
