My reptile journey starts...

[Sparkee]

Hi all, After many years of trying to get my snake-hating husband to allow a reptile in the house, I finally have my reptile licence. Still no snake yet.....

My 10 year daughter always goes straight to a snake whenever she sees one on display, and I have photos of her with them from about 4 years old. Well she told us that she wants a turtle, and she has researched these reptiles as pet, putting together a word document the size of a small book! We were impressed with her effort and knowledge, so tomorrow we pick up our eastern long neck turtle hatchling.

I also have a lovely female Phlogiellus (australian tarantula), that I have had for 3 and a half years.

Looking forward to chatting. :lol:

Hi all, thanks for the welcome.

Here is a photo of our newly acquired eastern snake-necked turtle hatchling.

Here is also a photo of Harriet, my T. She is about 12cm leg span and moulting every 6 months so growing rapidly. The plastic container you can see in the photo is the container I transferred her back into her enclosure when I had to clean it out recently. She is in a two foot tank.

Enjoy!
