its about time I got a name

Hello everyone,

I must admit, I've been lurking for at least a week now... no, more than that. I don't actually own anything reptilian yet though. I am a firm believer in researching before acquiring!

My plan is to get a gecko(s). I am NOT a snake person by any means, although I can't help but think green tree's are purty.

I am currently living in NS, but I could be moving in the next few months, which is the only thing holding me back from already having one. I have two kittens (Sophie and Jack) that my bf and I raised since they were two weeks old. I also had a hedgehog, but our current apartment was too cold for her, so I found her a new home (another reason there are no geckos here yet!)

I am a biology student; I have my BSc and I am hoping to be continuing with my masters soon.

So anyway, see you all around!

Well I spent about an hour in the local pet store staring at their lizards and I've come to some conclusions:
1) reptiles are great!
2) I want I want!
3) Nile monitors are gorgeous - and could easily mistaken as a great pet for any old Joe Schmoe who walks in there
4) Uros are just as great and I want some, but I don't want a huge tank any time soon
5) Geckos are CUTE! But expensive around here. There was a cute Golden Gecko in my price range, though. He didn't have a tail though. There were also some white spot geckos which were neat, but I can't find any info on them

All in all it was a great night ! Although I had to force myself to leave without buying a lizard I knew nothing about

oooooooo ! AAANNNNDDDD I learned that I can stand being around snakes! As long as they were just sitting there, but the kingsnake was slithering around and I didn't like him. The ball python was nice though.

Welcome to ssnakess. I never ever saw myself keeping anything other than snakes, but I ended up with a leo.

Welcome to the site!

It is hard leaving empty handed isn't it! I wouldn't suggest getting any reptile from a pet shop. You never know what your going to end up with. And may end up spending a ton of money in vet bills because of it.Try and find a good breeder.

Again welcome, this is the BEST site ever!
