My name is Heather and I started into reptiles in December of '07 when I moved to an apartment where I couldn't have a cat or dog. I am enjoying my new adventure in this mystic animal world and look forward to more learning and experiences as I grow within it. Ever since my unfortunate - but much needed - divorce, I have filled my life with work and animals. I look forward to filling it with more animals going forward (the heck with more work).

1.o.o Trinket Snake (Atlas)
1.0.0 Green Anole (Merlin)
1.0.0 Spotted African House Snake (Hades)
0.1.0 White-sided Rat Snake (Aztec)(died 1/4/09)
65 gallon fish tank w/blue acaras,white flag dwarf cichlids,tire tread eel,pleco,and kribs.

Another good Horse
Children's, Spotted, or Anthill Pythons
Golden Hognose
Various types of Hognose snakes (I love their heads)
Macklots or Savu Python
White Lipped Python (Black or Gold Phase - loving the rainbow affect)
Red Mountain Rat Snake
Chinese Bamboo Rat Snake
Sunbeam Snake (maybe)
Maybe another Armadillo Lizard
and maybe even a Plated Lizard

I am most interested in the non-venmous snakes - especially the old world rat snakes. I am limited on space due to apartment size so animals that stay small or get no bigger than 5' are what I am looking at now. That can always change if I move. I am also interested in the small lizards - armadillos especially but got introduced to a plated lizard and am giving those some serious thought. I went to my first herp show and look forward to many more. I love talking and chatting with others in the herp world - the more I learn the more I enjoy the hobby and my animals. It also gives me more exposure to expand my interests.

I have many and most of them revolve around animals and the outdoors - I am an avid equestrian (just recently had to find another home for my horse) and will go horseback riding every opportunity I can get. I completely enjoy my fish and am hoping to start breeding my blue acaras in the near future. I love my reptiles - I want more. Anything that has to do with the outdoors especially camping and canoing. I really enjoy the beach and ocean - will go to sea any day. I also do things at home as I practice my flute and enjoy a lazy day of hand made embroidery or even a really good book.

Thanks - as long as I can get on here I will be stopping by to say hi now and then. I am going to move my trinket snake into the new tank - it's a 55 Gallon. Not that he isn't comfortable in the one he is in but his 20 long will be easier to store than the 55. I am not going to get another animal right now - I have other bills to pay first. I did invest in a lot more clips though so that it won't happen again. Too bad some lessons need to be learned the hard way. Have a great day.

Yeah unfortunately sometimes it just has to be learned the hard way, I've been through those times way too much in my life. I don't know much about the clips since Boots doesn't ever really try to get out of his cage, but couldn't you just put a book or something over the ends of the cage??

I didn't think she would be strong enough to puch up on the screen while the clips were on it but she got it pushed up enough to get her head out of the tank but couldn't get the rest of her through. When I got home from pool league her head and neck were crushed between the screen and the tank edge.

Aaaw that really sucks hun, I'm sorry to hear that. If you need to talk, I'm here for ya ;)

Not good tonight - I just came home from a pool league match to find Aztec (white sided rat snake) dead. I am not a happy camper.












Sorry to hear that. I just got home from work and found my Pastel Boa had escaped from her cage. I found her on top of another cage where I keep mice!








Wow - at least you found her. Hope all is well.

yeah, she was really cold. Do you know how yours died?

Maybe. I'll be at Hamburg next month.








I am sooooooo out of the loop - when is the next Hamburg show? I am planning on going to the one in Carlisle in a couple of weeks. I have to be careful this year and go to the shows without coming out with anything (this is going to be tough) lol.
