Hello everyone!

[ReptileWorld]

Hello Everyone Im Derek im new to the forum but not new to gecko's. I have been keeping and breeding reptiles for about 10 years and poison dart frogs now for 3 years. I been sitting back and just reading on this forum and i see everyone is really nice and helpful. I started with leopard geckos when i was 16 and started breeding them by 18. things were a lot different then. I see some of you have very nice looking set ups even a 2nd story in the tanks. I think i am going to be re learning everything all over again i currently have 3 leopard gecko females and a 1.1.1 of cresteds and approx 80 to 100 Dart frogs. im looking to get a male for my 3 females.

Thanks those photo's were not taken by me but those are of my frogs in my collection. when im done cleaning and re organizing all my reptile supplys im going to pull the 3 leo females out for a little photo shoot.

Sorry guys im not sure if this worked right my camera seems to save photos at like 5mb and the site only allows 488kb's so i down loaded a photo resize program and been playing with it. hopefully it works i uploaded one pic to see how it came out.

awe i love those frogs! very cool

 

[ReptileWorld]

ok so i figured it out thanks for baring with me. here are a few photo's i took when i first got my camera. still working out the kinks but i figured i would share some of my own shots.

Are those poison dart frogs? (sorry if i'm way off) Those are very cool. Love the colors

 

[ReptileWorld]

yes they are. I started the hobby when i was 14 with a nile monitor which was real nasty but then i ended up with 2 tegu's which got way to big for me to keep so i found a guy online to trade me 1.4 leopard geckos for my pair of tegu's about a year later i found eggs in the water dish read up on them and been hooked ever since. but being that i was so young i got into college and got a motorcycle and sold off my entire reptile collection. then graduated and worked around the clock once i got laid off i decided to go back to a reptile show and pick up some new pets. went from 1 then 2 then... 25 tanks later...

but i got into the poison dart frogs heavy and breeding them was fun because its entirely different then anything i was use to. eggs hatch in 2 weeks and then raise tadpoles.

im going to try and get some pics of my leo's and cresteds tomorrow. :main_thumbsup:

 

[ReptileWorld]

so as promised some pics of my geckos that i took i know they are a bit amature but i hope you guys like them.
