Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey Everybody, My name is Jessica and I've been reading this forum for a couple months now and have posted a couple times but never really introduced myself. I am a 20 year old college student in Reno,NV and I have been fascinated by reptiles (mainly geckos) since I was 11 years old. As of right now, I own 1.2 uroplatus henkeli and 1.1 uroplatus pietschmanni. I simply adore the uroplatus species. I just got my first fertile henkel egg and now have to wait the four months or so. I'm so excited! I would like to put some pictures on here but don't know how? I don't have the pictures anywhere on the internet so if anyone could be of some help and tell me how to get them from a foler onto here, that would be great! Thanks and it's great to sort of know other uroplatus enthusiasts.

pleased to meet you. i kinda just showed up and all one day after my first satanics bred and laid eggs for me. so i guess its a bit overdue for me to introduce myself, anyway there seems to be a lot of new people around here recently... so here it goes.

my name is mike, im a 23 yr old zoology senior at nc state in raleigh (ill be graduatating in about a month!), i've been into herps ever since i caught my first frog back when i was like 6 or so. believe it or not, i can actually remember it (a normal lil green frog), as well as my first bullfrog (he croaked a lot!), my first turtle (a snapper), my first snake (garter snakes used to be all over my yard in CT), and my first lizard (a baby green anole in florida). anyway, as a kid i was really into turtles since we didnt have lizards in ct, but of course i loved all herps. today, im mostly into geckos. my first gecko was actually a mediterranean, but ive moved onto much bigger things now (as many of you know). now heres the list of my current herps, with 2 added just last night!

1.2 pietschmanni (hope to get another male soon)
1.2 henkeli
1.1 sikorae sikorae
6.9.3 phantasticus (my pride and joy!)
1.4.2 rhacodactylus ciliatus
1.0 trachemys scripta elegans (my very first pet, since i was 7)

wow, i just realized thats 33 gex and a turtle. whew. and i have more and more hatching all the time, not to mention more and more being laid all the time. i dont know how i came across uroplatus, but i just love em. hopefully my success these past two years with phantasticus spreads to the other species, and hopefully when i graduate and get a REAL job ill still be able to maintain this ever-growing habit/obsession/hobby.

oh yea...and if any of you know of any good herpetology jobs with any openings, let me know! im gonna need a job soon! hopefully theres more to hear about some of you other people.

oh my mind is so centered on leaftails i forget about the 2 giant day geckos i got from the keys. 1 is a baby and the others a big male. guess that makes it 35! i hope thats legal.

I am from CT

It is great to hear a little bit about everyone. If anyone else feels like sharing go right ahead. It's always nice to figure out where everyone is from and get a feel for all of you.

I'm originally from Derby, north of New Haven and Bridgeport. Now I'm in Pasadena, CA.

i was born and raised in orange, just outside of new haven. i miss that place. when i was 10 we moved here just outside of charlotte, nc, and now im in raleigh for now till i graduate in a month.

this past summer i went back for a visit, first time i had been back in like 10 years or so, and got to see my old house and whatnot. oh, how things have changed. i also managed to track down a couple of old friends, kinda weird how much everyone changes over such a period of time!

Sure is nice to have you here with us! WE all seem to be herp crazy as well as just UROPLATUS nuts !

I myself have had and loved critters since I was a kid, still am a kid at heart, so we won't get into the fact I'm older than you guys, hehehehheeh !

I have and breed several different types of lizards, they are ALL pets, and only sell offspring, keep some of them too, LOL

I have some froggies also , redeyes, and green tree frogs, as well as GOBLET, a BIG ole Pyxie/ african bullfrog And some cute FURRY four legged creatures.

We welcome you and glad you are here, PS> My name is Eve

Youre in the right spot for the most up to date Uroplatus info anywhere. Everyone here is very helpful and willing to give as much info as they can.

Good to have you here

I just had to say that your corkbark is really pretty. I like the little bits of yellow that it has. You've got a winner there.
