Waves HI!!!

 

[Cody1771]

thanks for the warm welcomes. she seems to have setteled in quite well with a fairly veracios apetite and already picking some "sweet" spots in her set up. once i get a bit more free time im really hopeing to build a larger viv with a auto misting system but it wont be for some time till i get that done.

Welcome Lilly! You're a very pretty lady.

thanks for the warm welcome. ive kept reptiles for years so i hopefully have a TON of expertise to help out, although chams are fairly new to me i did use to have one a few years back. besides that ive kept pretty much everything there is to keep. over the last 5 years or so i have been collecting caresheets like mad, whenever i come across one i convert it to PDF and store it. i plan on taking them and putting them in a standardized format and distributing a "Reptile Care referance book" available as an e-book or hard copy. mind you i have come to find there are SO many i may break it up into several doc's to make it more reasonable... all that being said its taken me 5 years to get where i am no and will probably take me another 5 lol...

just to give you an idea of what i have owned;
1.1 BCI
1.0 BCC
1.1 normal Ball Python
0.1 Retic
0.1 Burmese
0.6 bearded dragon
1.1 chinese water dragon
1.1 Columbian B$W Tegu
2.2 corn snake
0.1 Vielded Cham
1.1 Crested Gecko
1.0 Golden
0.1 Pictus Gecko
0.1 VERY LARGE Iguana
0.1 Egyptian Euromastix
oh im sure im missing a few...
and to many creepy crawlers to count

 

[Cody1771]

i cant help it i know people love pictures

this is my old girl Nikita, she was a BCI that i picked up after the previous owner had a botched breeding try where she needed surgery. dont know the details but she was gorgeous.

and these where my cresties! on is a fire and the other a super dal.

unfortunaty i lost my HD that had 99% of my herp shots including TONS of field shots of rare species from all over the world.

here is one i found on a beach in Queensland Australia. he crawled right on to my hand.

i lost 6 months of shots from time spent in baja California but im going back for a month on july 1 then again for a full month of back road exploring in the spring so hopefully i can restock my photos.

So, you've done your research then..............
That's a pretty big family you've got, so good luck and have fun with your new one.

 

[Cody1771]

no no, they are all past family. they are all gone now. life took over but they all went to good homes and im pretty sure all are still doing well i still see my boa every now and again and she is HUGE now
