1st time poster...long time keeper

Hello im new here..kind of been slow on the reptile scene since i quit my addiction 5 years ago ...I did keep my redtail(my 1st snake),4 sulcatas,alligator snapper and now have aquired an adult Bearded a few days ago... My 1st reptile was a wild caught painter turtle at about age 6..then we moved to arizona and i was in heaven catching all sorts of scorpions,tarantulas and lizards...moved back to wisconsin at age 13 and no more lizards....I was the zoo keeper at the 2 reptile zoos here in Wisconsin Dells for about 5 years back when albino alligators and albino iguanas were the hottest thing out... Serpeant safari (which is now closed) and Alligator alley which my best bud has bought and turned around into an awsome little shop..I really regret not taking more photos of the rare animals i have worked with over the years....Had over 4o reptiles in my house at one time..I became quite a legend in our area because in my small rural area i was the only person with a 6 ft gator rooming loose in the house like a dog..just got into other hobbies and like a fool i sold some real nice stuffWhen i would need a fix i would just go to my buds house and talk reptiles...well it aint cuttin it anymore...I once again feel the need...my dream pet will be a SALVATOR....just dont have the proper room for a beast like that yet...but im workin on the basement!!!!!!!!!
