Im dennis....been lurking here a while scouring for information but haven't had much to give back so I haven't posted..........ya gotta a sweet place here n kudos to everyone contributing cuz theres a ton a solid info here I appreciate.
I'm kinda an older character n I've kept all sorts a reptiles n amphibians since I was two ....I'm 37 so its basically been a life long obsession. I prefer fascination.
Ive reproduced over 50 species of reptiles n amphibians for profit but mostly for the challenge. Nowadays the economy and my health has forced me to concentrate more on just a few species. I primarily breed beaded lizards n Gila monsters these days and I got a fairly big collection of the lil dinosaurs that keep me way way busy. I actually am getting beaded lizard eggs from my first girl of the season right now......helodermid lizards are a whole other realm of reptile imho and anyone fascinated with reptiles should experience them one day. The first beaded lizard I hatched looked at me as I first looked at it in my incubator and I swear almost said DADDY. They are amazing intelligent.
but I love amphibians too and at one time I was raising at least twenty different dart frogs types but I got out of that cuz the fruit flies drew way way too many spiders into my house nonstop and the value of them dropped so it wasn't as feasible to individually raise each one.
I recently acquired a awesome group of young axolotls from Kats aquatics I couldn't more pleased with for a research experiment with biodynamics in aquaponics. They and a couple catfish are gonna be my top level predators in a closed loop ecosystem I'm setting up here to test a few things but also I just missed keepin axis they rock!.
peace
