Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum, but not new to herps. I have been keeping herps off and on since i was a little boy( whenever my mom would let me keep the occassional turtle or gardener snake i came accross). But i got more serious about it 4 years ago so i am by no means a expert, but i do have alot of experience. (at least as far as what i have delt with) My current collection consists of:
Snakes:
0.0.1 Ball Python ~ Python Regius
1.0.0 California King Snake ~ Lampropeltis getulus californiae
Lizards and Amphibians:
0.1.0 Green Iguana ~ Iguana iguana
1.0.0 Chinese Water Dragon ~ Physignathus cocincinus
0.1.0 Veiled Chameleon ~ Chameleo calyptratus
0.0.2 Bullfrog ~ Rana catesbeiana
0.0.4 Fire-bellied Toad ~ Bombina orientalis
1.0.0 Rainwater Albino Leopard Gecko ~ Eublepharis macularis
Plus
Breeding colonies of:
Hooded Rats
Siberian Dwarf Hampsters
Mealworms
and some fish!!!
Oscars and betas!!!
My modest collection is on the grow!!! and i have plans for several more snakes and lizards in the near future. I strongly endorse the purpose of these kinds of forums. Talking to people with first hand experience and knowledge is an invaluable resoure for experienced as well as up and coming herpers. I also participate on the NDherp forum, and that is how i actually learned of this forum in the first place. Well i hope i introduced myself thoroughly enuff!!! I look forward to some awesome herp conversations, photos, and meeting you all!!!

Mike I get the turn down service every night when the bar closes :roll: but I think that is a different type of "turn down" :twisted:
Anyway Welcome to the forums which have to be one of the best around! Super nice people, always willing to lend a hand or make fun of you...which ever they are in the mood for :wink:

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!
I am already trying to set aside my fund...have to get some racks in here first...LOL
I can make room for everything I have coming in...even the womas if I really HAVE to...
But I would much rather get SOME racks first...
Oh, well...I think I might just start sending Alex money in bits and pieces...so my wife doesn't detect the BIG HIT in June...LOL
