in Featured ArticlesTwo Passions Merged: Veterinarian and Reptile Hobbyist
Growing up I always had a love of all animals. I especially had a big interest in exotics, mostly reptiles. I was fascinated by the variety of species out there and learned more and more about them as I grew older. I kept many species including various geckos, lizards, turtles, tortoises and amphibians.
