Hi!!!

[RandJreptiles]

Just thought I would say a quick hello to this amazing community! I have been keeping reptiles for about 5 years now.

I have 10 reptiles in my collection which includes 1.2 Veiled Chameleons, and 1.1 Jackson's Chameleons, 2.1 Green Basilisks, 1.0 Bearded Dragon, 1.0 Frilled Dragon.

In addition to keeping reptiles I run a local reptile boarding service. It's an amazing way to meet fellow reptile enthusiasts and experience caring for many species I would normally not get the chance to keep.

A huge passion of mine is building the biggest most natural enclosures that my limited house space will allow. I have mastered that art of fake rock wall backgrounds. All of my enclosures have them and I have also begun doing custom jobs for friends, my vet, and boarding clients.

Finally because my introduction to the reptile world was through a very sick bearded dragon...I run a mini reptile rescue and relocation.

I think thats about it...I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Cheers!
Julia

I love all my reptiles but there is something very special about a bearded dragon! They all have such unique personalities and genuinely like to be handled and cuddled! You should get another, a lot of reptile rescues are full of adult beardies in need of a forever home!

The fake rock backgrounds do look pretty good I have to say and a frilled dragon, I'm a Cham man that's all I keep but every time I see a frillie I think about getting one there really interesting I'm sure one day I will invest

Frillies are great. Almost as much personality as a bearded dragon but more interesting to look at when they frill up. I think the biggest con to keeping them is that they require HUGE enclosures. This is a pic of my guy "Frankie"

Space won't be a issue as I'm having to build a monster shed for my parsons, from what I've seen one problem with them is when they get a cricket caught up in there frill the cricket scratches away and it killed someone's frillie I no as he never noticed it as the frill covered the cut so that's something to keep an eye on

Wow, thanks for the heads up, I will start checking his frill regularly! This is why I LOVE Chameleon Forums. Always learning something new!
