Hobbies: Reptiles, Basketball I'm 6'7", Riding my V-Star, XBox 360, collecting Star Wars Memorabilia, but currently selling some to buy reptiles


:darth:
Short Bio, Started out with one Ball Python a few months after I got married, surprise on my wife. Quickly grew over the next couple of years. Made 2 trips to Daytona, and many zoos just to photograph herps.
Collection then consisted of
0.1 Ball Python
1.0 Albino Cal-King
0.0.1 Scarlet Kingsnake
4.10 Corns
1.0 Retic
1.0 Super Tiger Retic
0.1 Redtail Boa
0.0.1 Western Hognose
1.1 Mali Uromastyx
1.1 Veiled Chameleons
1.1 Jacksons
1.0 Panther Chameleon
0.0.1 Savannah Monitor
1.0 Yellow Ackie
1.2 Bearded dragons
2.4.8 Leopard Geckos
0.0.1 Leopard Tortise

A couple of Mammals,
2 Ferrets - got rd of them quick after they attacked my geckos
1 Boxer
1 Great Dane

and a 50 gallon Saltwater fish tank

I joined the active duty Army as a medic and shortly after deployed to Iraq. For this reason I knew I couldn't properly care for it all so I made the decision to get rid of it all. Sold or found homes for all of it even the baby veiled, geckos, and beardeds I hatched out.
My children are now 6 and 3 and we have begun to share reptiles together. We just got in the last 2 weeks a bearded dragon and 3 Leopard Geckos. I love passing down this hobby to my kids. Sorry for the long post, I sometimes ramble.

Little Story.. Last weekend was fishing off shore with my kids, Started to come back into a large river mouth and found a 5 foot lace monitor floating about 2km off shore. Normally at this length you would never touch one as they tend to rip the veins out of your arms. I thought he must be dead but i saw him blink and so grabbed his tail and lifted him in. I had my kids hold his tail while i threw towels over his head to calm him down.. he scratched up about 1 meter of marine carpet but otherwise was ok. drove him about 10km down the river to a secluded beach and dropped him off where he had a little sun bake and slowely walked off in tot he bush - a typical day in Australia.
