I'm 27 years old, and I live in Round Lake Illinois just north of Chicago. After having a troubled past, I have finally been on the right path. Although this journey is hard and tiresome, I refuse to give up and be the person I was years before now. My found love for reptiles and the goal of starting my own business will not allow me to give up.
Over time, I have found a new interest! And I thank reptilegeeks as a whole for providing the necessary resources to learn and research a wide variety of herpetological interests! Now dont get me wrong I love lizards especially Bearded Dragons! But now snakes have found their way into my heart and future plans! Now most of my free time is dedicated to learning about Amazon Tree Boas(Corallus hortulanus)! Focusing mainly on captive husbandry, and breeding! Although learning about their natural habitat and history is an awesome experience. A lot of the things that I am learning about A.T.B.'s I have to credit toboakingdom and his 20+yrs. experience in keeping this beautiful species!
Keeping reptiles has taught me to have patience with not only them but with all things in life. I can only hope to bring more people to our trade and hobby, to teach people that reptiles deserve the same humane treatment as any other animal.
I am a member of the National Organization of Marijuana Laws(NORML)! There are a lot of things out there that are way more harmful than marijuana that are legal. Like tobacco and alcohol, and lets not forget all of the prescription drugs that are supposed to be helpful but end up making more people sick or dead than marijuana has or ever will! Tell me the last time you heard of some one dieing or becoming very ill from smoking marijuana!Let me also state that I do not condone the use of marijuana by minors or people that are just to stupid for their own good!!! Feel free to listen to NORML's daily audio stash below and hear our side. They talk to evry one politicians, scientist and doctors!
I would like to learn about reptile illnesses and how to cure and treat them. I also plan on breeding Amazon tree Boa's(Corallus hortulanus), Corn Snakes, Bearded Dragons and possibly others. Some other things in my plan include the breeding of: Lobster roaches, Silk worms, Horned worms, Super worms, and other kinds of feeder roaches.
And the thing that I want to do the most is to run a reptile rescue. Right now I am putting my focus towards learning as much as I can about A.T.B's my new found love in the snake world!!

Things didn't work out in kankakee? Sorry to hear that.
So what are you doing now?
Now I am staying at my lady's house with her husband that she is going through a divorce with for the past five years. Then I will be moving in with some freinds of ours back in round lake!!
Ha, that sounds like an odd situation there...how's it working out? Things going good bewteen you and the lady?
I see you have a couple female Blood corns. Would you be willing to part with one in aa few months? I have some up comeing projects and am in dire need for a Blood female!! Let me know!!!
Perhaps....I was originally planning on breeding both of them to my Lav. Blood h. Hypo male....however he is not cooperating as of yet...both of them are ph for both lav. and hypo so I may try to breed them to my Opal, if they do not prove out het Lav. then I would probably be willing to sell one.
Sweet let me know! I was going to pair it with my snow.
Sounds good, get back up with me at the end of the summer. The male lav. blood is trying to breed with both of them....I didn't brumate either of the females this year (they just turned 3 yrs old) so they have not locked up yet. Hopefully they will go on and lock up soon.....I want to be able to make some room if they are not het lav/hypo.
