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!!

In a bit of a hurry, I need to leave for work. Sure, use any pics you want from my RG galleries or from my website.
I'll be starting a page on Facebook, but it'll be as Amazon-Alliance, not as Mike Heinrich.

What's up Bro?
Not to much! Did you get my message yesterday? I was seeing if you had some nice out door pics of ATBs that I could use for a profile pic on facebook for the group that I started the other day! Its the first and only Amazon Tree Boa group! I have 100+ members already in two days; Kathy is in the group too! I was also gonna say you need to get onn there, there are a lot of connections to be made on facebook. I've got some serious herpetologist on my friends list, like Donald Schultz who just started a show on Animal Planet called Wild Recon. He's a pretty down to earth guy!
Other than that just been doing school work. Got an 89% on my first test! How about you?
