Horridus suggested we compare college university rooms after I was complemented on how tidy my room at home was. So here we are. At rutgers I live in an apartment with 3 other guys. We have a livingroom, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms with two beds in them. So we each share a bedroom. This is my side of my bedroom.  Red-tail Knobby Newt tank  Tank for my 2 Hongkong Newts  tanks for my Dunn's Salamander and my 2 Marbled Salamanders  We really aren't supposed to have pets in the apartments but really...everyone has them anyway. ssshhhhh! |

I live in an apartment with a few other people, but I have my own room (en-suite and everything...I'm just horribly cosseted). I'll post the pics that I posted over in my collection thread for now.     EDIT: some extra ones: Here's that Muse poster that keeps intruding on my dino shots.  Part of my pinboard  Mario pirate flag ;D (free gift with a magazine)  Stuff on top of my printer  That ridiculous dragon again. The skull is a money box for pennies (bought from Port Aventura theme park in Spain in 2004).  So yes, my room is full of tat. |

Michael Scott looks like the only guy who can see the massive Rex, bursting through the branches. He looks pretty calm about it, too.

He pretty much expects it at this point. I have some monty python posters on the wall against my bed too that cant be seen very well in the photo i already put up. |

Hey, I think you both live a lot more comfortable than I did when I lived at a student's home.  My twelve square metres were always a mess and it was perhaps not the best idea to share so little available space with all my insect breeding stuff (mostly beetles but also phasmids and mantids).  ;D Oh, and nice to read you have Paramesotriton hongkongensis, Griffin. I had some in the mid eighties. Very nice newts. |

I had some in the mid eighties. Very nice newts. Thanks. They are lovely little guys with lots of personality. I like it cuz they frequently explore their enclosure and can be seen often. And of course they are beautiful to look at as well. I got the pair of them in a little hole in the wall pet store a few years ago. They were labeled as "Red belly newts". The other caudates I have tend to be much more shy during the daytime. Are you a member on caudata.org? I only ask because u used the scientific name and thats common on the site on the forums and stuff. |

Oh no, I'm no member there and I quit keeping / breeding animals several years ago. But I was very keen on amphibians as a kid. It only took a while until I could identify mine. A colleague here works a lot on newts, mainly in the field but he is also interested in all Cynops species. |

They often get mistaken for Firebellies and Warty Newts. |

I had to search Google to see who Michael Scott is.  I can see a picture of Zeus by the alarm clock.  I see a print-out of the Moulin Rex trio. I'm flattered. ;D And I see the plesiosaur report. And I'm intrigued by the History of the Arab Peoples book. I imagine it must be connected with your studies? |

Indeed, related to my dissertation, unless I decide to change the subject of it...which I might do. In which case it's still helpful for some of my other course modules, particularly the snappily-titled "Roots of Cultural Conflict: The Historical Origins of Contemporary World Challenges". It's solely assessed on a single essay. Oh, the pressure! |

See if you can find him. Is he to the left of the tank? But wait, are there two of him, or is he with a companion? ;D ETA: Oh, haha, I'm being dim again. He's on the mousemat! |

Of course, should you find you no longer have any use for the book one day, I would be very happy to take it off your hands. ;D |

I live at home. Apartments are expensive, and I'd hate living with other, dirty people.  I thought about it when my ex was here, but my ex ended up going to a different school in another state, and the plan fell apart. |
