hello everybody!
how do you guys do? since im new here ill tell a little about myself. im from colorado and have been interested in herps since age two. my collection currently consists of 0.0.1 eastern box turtle, 0.0.1 tiger salamander, (probable) 0.1 aru x biak chondro, and a 0.1 ball python. the ball python, nioka is 3 yrs old, verdi the chondro - 8 mths. mile the turtle is approx. 6 yrs old (or is that 7???) and yellow frog is now 9 or 10 yrs old. other than herps i have one very rare species of dog, bassetus slobberus. lol. my basset is now 5. in my spare time i enjoy exercising and being in the outdoors a lot. i also do a lot of cycling for fun, but im currently training for the 2012 olympics on my own. sure, ive got a coach, but i dont go to the olympic centers or anything. my sport is archery. i dont really hunt anymore, but i did enjoy small game. im creative, imaginative, and a hell of a talker if i get on a subject i enjoy.
i am eager to be on this forum because i believe that it is essential to make our animals happy with beautiful vivariums and the animal always also looks stunning as well. over the years i have learned some things about constructing cages, but i am not even close to the level of designing that the aquarium design group is, but i hope to get there someday.
so in all im happy to be here so i can learn a little and hopefully teach a little. i love my animals and seeing them happy, and i know everyone here does to.
cheers,
lucas
