About Me:
I'm going into my last year at Rutgers University studying ecology, evolution, natural resources, & geology. I have a business degree prior to that and run a restaurant with my mom.
I also have a job as an assistant research conservation ecologist working with diamondback terrapins. I do mark-recapture studies and we study the health of the terrapins and try to improve the ecosystem.
I love reptiles. Always have. My pets are a priority.
Why I'm Here:
I have leopard geckos, but never really had a huge interest in them before. I kind of saw them as boring (sorry :shock:, I always preferred the more challenging reptiles). But, I always thought they were adorable. My first two leos I got because my little brother wanted to have reptiles & I knew they would be easy for him to learn with. The most recent one I got was a rescue. A friend literally kidnapped Esteban from her sister who had severely neglected her. She just dropped by my house with her one day asking me to take it. The poor thing was so pale, skinny, and had the start of MBD. Now she's bright yellow and fat. She turned out to be the sweetest gecko I'd ever met. Very cute & friendly. She loves attention. And, she's adorably large/fat :lol:. She has a big head. I need to weigh her to see if she's a giant morph. Since having her I've been gaining more interest in leos because they don't seem as boring to me. I am now interested in learning about different morphs, getting some more geckos, & breeding them in the future. But, I have to learn more before I can start breeding. I plan to start in about a year.
I'm hoping to learn about morphs & breeding and get input about what morph Esteban is. I'll create another post with pics after I weigh her. :biggrin:
