ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Cassie.
I love and am fasinated by reptiles. My love for reptiles started at a young age. When I was 4 I had my first encounter with a garter snake, and from that point on I wanted to own reptiles.
I owned a few wild turtles that I had found in a pond near my old house in the country that I kept in my backyard.
I also housed some wild frogs and toads that wondered into my backyard. And quite a few years back I owned my first store bought toad, an awesome little fire-bellied toad I named Watermelon.
On January 2, 2006 I got my first lizard, a leopard gecko I named Nim. He's been a joy to own. A few years later in Febuary I bought a SHT female leo and started my own little breeding project. That same year in March I had 4 more leo's "dumped off" on me so to speak. My breeding project was going great. But about a year and a half afterward I stopped breeding leopard geckos because, to many babies so little room. But when I get my own apartment or home I plan to start breeding them again and hopefully different lizards and snakes too.
Unfortunately I was never able to own any snakes when I was younger, my mother hated and still hates snakes, but that never, and still hasn't, stop me from grabbing a garter out of my backyard and bringing it to her from time to time ;D
Or so I thought... On July 15, 2011 I happily bought my first columbian red tail boa constrictor from a local pet store. She's 2ft 4in and a joy to have. I named her Kallisto which means "most beautiful" in Greek. Thus far it has been a wonderful experience owning her, and I can't wait until she gets a little bigger. I look forward to the future and watching her grow. Hopefully one day I can start my own business of breeding and selling quality reptiles.
I plan to start making reptile cages/racks..I also want to make racks for breeder mice,rats,rabbits, etc., and shelving units to hold storage tubs for feeder insects. I can't start this idea just yet though, but hopefully this will start in a few years.

I planned on getting them bigger tanks, and the handling thing is no problem, my leo's are held daily and so will the beardies.

Thank you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated :)

It's fine, I'll have one one day :)



Thanks, the photos really helped. Is your bearded dragon an adult? What size cage are you using if it is?



My sister has the two she's giving me housed in their own 40 long breeders, but to me the dragons look like they should be in bigger enclosures.

Sorry to hear about your Ball Python falling through:(. I posted a few pics of my enclosure and set up in the home section or just go to my RG Page. Basically (obviously hee) Temp. and ligting are key. You do not see my HIDE for him in the pics because he never uses it he actually will hide in the fake foliage:) or on his basking log. He must feel safe there. If you have any questions let me know. :)

I forgot to change my profile. I posted that last year, I didn't get her because I wasn't able to afford the food then. Now that I can I have the two beardies coming, so the ball python is once again put on hold..atleast for a little while :)





Thanks for commenting on the playlist. Asking Alexandria have some really good songs. Your playlist has interesting artists on it.





Your post was very helpful. Pictures of the enclosure would help so I can see how you have the lighting set up, and maybe even help in a decorative stand point as well.

Yea technically you should have 8 feet of floor space or simply 48 X 24" X 24" in. I keep mine in a 36” x 24” x 24” (WxDxH) exo-terra tank. If I am not mistaken 40 gal breeders are 36 X 18 X 18. You may want to go a bit bigger typically a 50 gal breeder is ideal. My beardie, like most is very social so i get him out a few times a week depending on his mood :) I also give him baths to swim for exercise as well as too clean him up lol. After which he will typically sack out under his heat lamp lol. NOTE.. ensure there is a shallow area for them to rest and try not to keep them unattended i usually let mine hang for about 15 min or more. So here I feel I make up for the missing 2 feet of floor space. But there are some who would argue against :). So in my opinion in the interim you should be o.k. until you find a lager tank. Just try to get them out and about daily if not every other day .


hope this helps.

NOTE...as far as baths go ensure there is a shallow end or structure to get up on and try not to leave then unattended, they can drown:(
hope this helps.
