Hello All!

Hello everyone!,
Although I have made a few posts already I thought I should introduce myself!

My name is Andrew and unlike most teenagers my room is filled with reptiles and fish! I loved herps and fish since I was very young and my life has been quite devoted towards them since. I would like to be a Herpetologist when I get older (PA is not the best place for this lol). I have Crohns disease and often find myself home sick from school for extended periods of time watching and caring for my reptiles and fish instead of watching tv.
For my birthday a few years ago I got Manny, my panther chameleon! My mother asked me what I wanted, a new panther chameleon or a laptop.... well you now see my choice. Manny is now about 2 and 1/2 and looking great!
I also currently have 5 leopard geckos and would like to start breeding them! so more coming soon! They include 3 RAPTOR's, a tangerine het eclipse, and an eclipse. Saving up to go to the next reptile show!

I keep many african cichlids....Mbuna and Peacocks to be exact but they're a whole other story!
and last but not least I have Julio, my albino Axolotl. He holds a special place in my room and heart

Thats my story, thanks everyone! :main_thumbsup:

Hello! and welcome to GF! I love your chameleon! Manny's beautiful! I always loved their feet xD I got excited when I scrolled down and saw your axolotl I was like OMG NO WAY. AN AXOLOTL <3 Always wanted one haha I already have too many tanks (or so my parents think) in my house though (I'm also a fish keeper ). I bet your tanks are beautiful! I see some of those mbuna tanks on youtube and I'm just like :O haha Nice leos as well! So cute ^_^

Haha thanks glad you like them! Most people dont even know what an Axolotl is and when they find out usually people just think hes ugly.....I disagree! I have a 55 gallon mbuna tank and im in the process of expanding my other peacock tank to a 55 gallon also :3 If only I had a bigger room cause my parents are the same way
