Hello, I am new to this site and I would like to introduce myself.
I am one of those teens that caught reptile fever a few years earlier than most herp enthusiasts. Even at a young age I was catching eastern box turtles, baby snappers, water snakes, and garter sakes where I grew up in Michigan. I would get screamed at when I would bring the snakes in the house, but I liked to bring the turtles indoors and watch them move across the floor. I always wanted a reptile pet of my own, but I waited and waited. A few years later, my waiting finally paid off.
My first reptile was a year old female bearded dragon. That was the spark of my reptile collection.
Then I rescued a Pet Co adoption leopard gecko. It had a bad foot that was missing a few toes and its tail had been lost. It was a little hatching then, but now it is almost a full sized adult. It is a super hypo tangerine would have been carrot tail, if it wouldn't have lost it's tail.
Then I bought two more leopard geckos . One was a female red stripe, and the other was a male ghost and what I am guessing is a little bit of high yellow. I started to breed those two and I got a few clutches from them, but nothing would ever go right with the eggs. They had four clutches this first year, and hopefully have a four more next year.
The first time I went to my first reptile expo, I was amazed at all the different reptiles and arachnids. The second time I went to the Expo, I purchased a banana blizzard hatchling that was way to skinny. I have had him for a few months and he is much more fat than he was. His tail is very plump ans is almost as big as his body.
After a month or two, I purchased my first snake, a female normal ball python. She was in a container with a dozen other baby balls, but she stood out the most out of all the babies.
Our house is a zoo! we have five green anoles, four leopard geckos, two emperor scorpions, four hermit crabs, one fiddler crab, one Betta, one bearded dragon, one ball python, one mouse, one dog, and three guppies.
Sorry it is so long of a introduction, but that is what most of my posts are, long.
