Hi,

I recently adopted some baby checkered garters and want to learn more about the little critters.

I also have iguanas, a bearded dragon, uromastyx, ball python, curly-haired tarantula, striped bark scorpions, and dogs and cats.

Looking forward to getting to know yall :)

Welcome Laura!! We want pics now of ALL your critters!! Oh, well, except the tarantula. (shiver) :-)

[tikichick]

Lol, it's a teeny tiny tarantula ;) And I got another one today, a Costa Rican Tiger Rump, (lol, love the name), and a couple Emperor Scorpions at the Austin Reptile Expo. I'm going back again tomorrow for feeders and hopefully will win something in the raffle. :D

I'll post pics in the photo section :)

[Lori P]

Oh, ok... you can post pics of the tarantulas. I'll *try* to find them adorable. :-) Have fun at the expo and good luck!!! :-)

[tikichick]

Lol, I know... a little spider is STILL a spider :p

Ok, I've posted most of my critters in the members gallery. I left out the cats and dogs, and have yet to get a pic of the Emperor Scorpions I got this weekend at the expo... coming soon :)

I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep... did dishes, laundry, and am on my 3rd cup of coffee... the dogs are glaring at me and half of them have gone back to bed...lol!!

OMG-- you have an iguana named GRAVY???!!!! TOO FUNNY!!!!!:D

[tikichick]

LOL! Wow, when you wake up you're productive! It takes me at least 2 cups to turn from a lump back into a human being :p

Yes, Gravy came with that name, but it's too funny to change. I still can't figure out why they named her that, lol.
