Warning! Newbie hatching.

[pseudo_me]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site so thought I would introduce myself. My name is Joe and I've been keeping herps on and off since I was a kid. It's only been the last 10 years or so that I've really become obsessed with the keeping side of things. I'm also computer illiterate hence my absence from the forum scene.

Essentially I'm what you would call an Aussie plant nut and my profession revolves around various aspects of the Aussie flora. I have on occasions and still do, work as a field assistant with limited researchers in the Herp and Orno field but I'm in no way the researcher! I'm just a catcher and do micro chipping and observing for them occasionally.

I've been getting into photography and reptiles are my favourite subjects, I'm still a novice with this and have a lot to learn but I'm enjoying the ride. As for the animals I keep, well it's been a bit of a struggle with reptiles in the house over the past few years but now my reptile room is near complete, my collection can grow. I keep Coastal Carpets, Olives, Childrens, two ssp of N. levis, Blueys and 3 colour phases of CBD's. Soon I'll be getting some Bredli, Thick tails and hopefully some P. henrylawsonii. Where will it stop.........

I'm in no way an expert in keeping any of these things and look forward to learning heaps from you all.
Cheers
Joe

When i was a kid we had our own zoo of sorts....breedn rabbits(still am,dwarf lop-also house train) guinea pigs, budgies(train as well) pigs,sheep, a goat or two& of course dogs and a cat.
Three years ago i rescued a Purple-Crowned Lorikeet baby only had down on its chest(the trucks on the road claimed the rest)soon learned i needed muy permit & i suppose the rest is history!!!.... my other half stills blames the bird.

Hi and welcome everyone This site just keeps on growing!

So, pseudo_me and mama croc since you both like plants and reptiles - do either of you know safe live plants that I can put in my cage with my Stimson? Would preferably prefer a native plant and was thinking about trying Eucalyptus - plan on keeping it small. Thanks, Krystal.

Welcome Joe- any pics of your Geckos?

Drago lady: Tell your son to let the gecko go, its illegal for you to keep it.
