 OT: My introduction of myself and my crew

Hi Everyone,

I have only been on Reptic-zone since December 07. I guess I just wanted to let you know who I am and what I have.

I am Accounting Major in College for my Bachelors Degree, and someday my CPA license and a Masters degree in some field (not sure yet). I currently hold a Associates degree in Accounting with emphasis in Human Resources.

I am a mother of 4 children; ages Jason17, Alex 14, Chris 11, and my daughter Mickayla 9. And of course the boyfriend.

I have a total of 22 lizards, 5 dogs, 1 hamster, 1 gerbil, 2 fish, and 1 rabbit.

The lizards I have are:
2 Iguanas: 4.5 yr female-Houdini, 2.0 yr male-Slobber
6 Bearded Dragons: Grumpy, Mini, Stumpy, Spike, Micki, and Skippy
1 Basilick: named Big Al after my son
1 Uromastx named Uggi
6 Water Dragons: Reese, Snickers, Mars, Skittles, Wiggly, and Spearmint.
6 Leopard Geckos: Pinki, Raider, Leo, Spot, Lemon, and Spaz
1 Frilled Dragon: Mr. Attitude

I am not an expert or anything, but I am a beginner and a learner also.

Michelle

I’d make my own thread, but...hey, the laziness factor, hehe! I’m going to respond to yours with my own. (:

I joined...oh, jeez, I don’t remember when I joined. It was a while ago, though. I’m still in school, struggling with the trig, but ah well.

I’m fifteen {sixteen in June}, though have been told I act older? I’ve got 6 mini dachshunds, 3 cats, 8 crested geckos {one breeding pair}, 2 African Clawed Frogs, 1 Tree Frog, 1 Leopard Frog, a red eared slider, 2 snails {in the RES tank}, 2 hamsters, a rat, a guinea pig, a goldfish, and a cichlid. My boyfriend’s pets {technically mine, he doesn’t take care of them, anyway xP} are a beardie, two WDs, two cresties, an ACF, a painted turtle, and 3 Leopard frogs.

The dreaded pictures...{you might want to cover your eyes, this may burn.}

Hey team!

I guess it’s time I finally got around to introducing myself.

My name is Jay. I’m living in Edmonton, but I’m originally from Regina (ugh!) I’m 27 and am a self employed siding installer.

I’ve been keeping herps for around 4 years I think, and so far I’m looking after
Eastern Collared Lizard
Golden gecko
Leopard gecko
Brown basilisk
Chinese water dragon
Timor monitor
2 cats, an african clawed frog, and a handful of random fish. Oh yeah, and a couple tubs of Discoid roaches.

I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until I add more to the collection, but for now I’ve used up all the space I can really afford, so until I move this is pretty much it.

Oh, and I love sharing pics of the lizards!

Timor monitor:



Water Dragon:



Brown Basilisk:


Leopard Gecko:




For some reason I don’t have any pics of the collared lizard or the goldie...I need to work on that!

And the cats:

Shadow:


Fritz the cat:


and both together (awwww!)

wooo..
i thought you were older, yex =)

geezle - it’s nice to see somebody so close to home.. though i’d nevr admit to being from regina.. sk in general, i lived in p.a for quite a while lol

i’m soo jumping on the bandwagon lol

i never introduced myself on the pics thread, in fact i’m not sure i introduced myself at all.. hard to say, i don’t remember when i joined, but i lurked a lot at first.. hell i still lurk a lot :D ..

i’m 22, addictred to tattoos and animals, currently living in BC - in the village (yes.. it’s a village lol) of radium hotsprings.. heart of the rockies =)
.. i move a lot so my zoo is growing and shrinking constantly..
i sling coffees for a living.. right now.. being as i move so much i also change jobs a lot, i’ve done everything from setting chokes, piling lumber, to bucking logs.. making flower arrangements, wedding planner, vegan cook, pastry chef, baker..
i get tired of doing the same thing all the time, so i don’t keep a job longer than a couple years at the most.. :S maybe someday i’ll settle down.. but my boyfriend of 3 years is just like me, so who knows.. we enjoy it =)

at the moment, i only have my cwd, Enid who i aquired last august (july?)
but in the past i’ve had fb newts, fb toads, salamanders, red eyed tree frogs, anoles, skinks, alligator lizards, garter snakes... i think that’s it.. as far as reptiles and the like goooo..... =)
now that i think about it, i actually have had a lot of experience with animals in general.. it’d be mundane to list the pets i’ve had.. lol
so all i have is enid and by april i’ll have adopted a kitty from the cranbrook spca.. i’m trying to talk my boyfriend into letting me get more rats and maybe another lizard or two.. we’ll have to see how well my powers of persuasion works :D

oh.. and i love this forum, i’ve learned a lot here

I want to get my rook pierced (its a part in the ear for those who dont know) but I cant find anybody who knows how to do it professionally.... :|

hee hee village :P just kidding... my town is only 3sq miles so what do I have to talk about? All we got here is a mcdonalds and a bank.... oh and the 5 gas stations... thats what I get for living next door (literally) to the largest interstate here... :D

lol i have 8 so far, i’m going for my first sleeve in june and i have another 4 or so in mind.. including a chest panel and the bottom halves of my legs .. they are terribly addicting, i’ve wanted them since i could remember, then about a month after i turned 18 i started and haven’t stopped.. they say you have to wait 12 months before you can donate organs or blood after being tattoo’d, at the rate i go, i’ll never able to donate lol! my boyfriend was anti tattoo until he watched me get my 8th, thought it looked like a breeze so he got one and now he thinks i’m amazing because "his hurt like a sunava..." lmao!!
i had over 30 piercings at one time, but then i took them all out and i haven’t had a single one since.. they’ve all long since grown over and i don’t have any desire to get anymore.. i think it’s actually kinda gross, go figure :P

you know, i think this is the first town i’ve ever been in that doesn’t have a mcdonalds.. lol! a few gas stations, a bar and some hotels.. it’s pretty sad..
but i don’t actually live there, where i live there isn’t even a single store.. it’s a pretty weird layout, i live in a place called dry gulch which is literally a bump on the road but because there’s nothing here, i have to be called a citizen of radium hotsprings lol

Well, I’m not into the tattoos, but I do enjoy the piercings. I’ve taken a couple out in the past year or two, but I’ve got a lip right/labret, 2 8ga tongue studs, and my ears are stretched to about 3/4" now.

LOL i didnt have the money when I hit 18... or any time until now.... but I have some really close friends who were willing to do it for me and they owned tattoo shops before and are great artist but they didnt have any sanitary places for it and I wasnt going to get my first tat in my friends kitchen lmao.....

I love piercings got my first when I was 14 (lip) I have peirced 16 different people not including ears, it was the fad at school lmao.
I got a 2g in my ears... along with 5 ten gauges up and down my ears.... I took out the lip and septum peircings for working reasons... kept my eyebrow at a 10 gauge.... tongue is standard size... and thats it right now.... But I dont want to go into the other ones I took out lmao...

Im definately addicted to piercings but like I said working reasons I am limited to options... My first tat is going to be an arm band, with a blue rose in the middle. (my mom has the blue rose on her shoulder blade so I am going to do the same rose in an arm band....) But I really cant wait :D

O.K. Guess it’s my turn! LMAO! My name is Alisha I am 28, married with 3 children. Shawn is 11, Danielle is almost 10, and Toby is 6. We live in Tulsa, OK. We moved to Utah for a little while but came back to Tulsa to help my mom. Mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 3 years ago. I moved back in with her to help her through a series of chemo and surgeries. Now that she is doing better and in remission, we are trying to buy a house. We were hoping on it happening this year but looks like it’s going to be next year. In the meantime it’s pretty cramped here but we all make do. I have been a stay home mom for the last 8 years. I started college in January, with all the kids in school I felt like it’s my turn to do something for myself and my family, go to college, get a good job so on and so forth. Don’t have any idea what I want to actually go for yet, but figure I can’t go wrong with computers, that or maybe accounting, though having control over other people’s money makes me reallllly nervous. LOL. We have several pets and will be getting more reptiles once we are situated in our own house.

For now we have 2 dogs Ike is a 2 year old Pitt and Sarah is a 5 year old English Springer (best gaurd dog I’ve ever had)
2 cats Lil Rascal is 1 and Angel is 5
a 5 year old male Ball Python Fang (he’s actually Shawn’s)(though I do tend to take care of him.....)(LMAO)
a 1 1/2 year old Green Iguana, Godzilla not sure of sex yet but leaning towards female
and of course my Chinese Water Dragon Kitara. She’s 1 year old and I think she is gonna be a he (lol) not sure yet of course, but leaning towards male. Hubby just got me a digital camera for my birthday so gonna be posting an update on her sometime soon when I get a chance to take pics and stuff. She is dong sooo much better than she was a few months ago. YAY!!!!

Anyway that’s my gang and on another note I don’t have any tattoos or piercings, well except for my ears which are closed up anyway. I have thought about getting just a small tat on my hip or such, like maybe a butterfly or a unicorn head, but I’m too much of a chicken, just can’t do it! LOL!! Also thought about getting my belly button pierced but haven’t for the same reason, that and I can just imagine one of my kids accidently ripping it out OUCH! Hubby on the other hand has several tats used to have a few piercings too but now just has his tongue ring. Anyhoo I’ll post pics after I get some taken (so much school work can’t even play with my b day present), good to meet ya guys!!!!

I am 13 years old and live in Michigan, and I have a 17 year old brother. Michigan is great but the weather here is so weird, one day it is 70 out and the next it’s 40. I got my first pet when I was 4 and she is still with me today=),my dog Roxy. Roxy is a Black Lab chocolate lab mix. My CWD ’Zinc is the only reptile I have, and those are my only pets... I am new to water dragons, really reptiles in general but I am reading and searching for information all the time. I love animals! but my parents hate them so I don’t have much help, and I don’t have much money to spend on ’Zinc. ’Zinc has been with me for about 5 months now, I’m not sure how old he is, I think about a year and a half. Not sure gender either but i think it might be female. So far I have had no big troubles with ’Zinc yet, and I hope I never do. O and the reason I put a pirate on all my pages is because that is my city’s mascot, The Riverview Pirates!
