What's up everyone!
My name is Cheyenne, nickname Annie. I'm a full time student in college and am working on my biotechnology degree. I had a dog named Joe that my parents and I got from a shelter when I was in second grade. He was a black lab mixed with great dane; he had passed away two years ago. In that two year gap I had no pets as my parents wanted no more. However, this past year I've been learning about leopard geckos, including from this forum right here. I'm actually allergic to pet dander, especially cats, therefore chose to pursue my passion on reptiles. Of course my mom will never ever allow a snake in the house, so leopard geckos became my number one choice.
A month ago I confronted my parents and convinced them that even though they didn't want a pet, I wanted one and that mattered a lot to me. I got a tangerine leopard gecko, Angie, a week later and she is just the sweetest although the most shyest of things. She's got a personality a lot like mine. I wish I could show a proper photo of her, however she's only begun to adventure out of her cave just three days ago and I've only been able to have her stand on my hand three times. She's very young, maybe two and a half months old I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'm very happy to be here. Everyone is so helpful and open!
