Hello All! (Picture Heavy)

[Cyrinaluna]

I've been posting pretty frequently in the conure forum, but I never got around to introducing myself!

Name's Ashley Graduate of WVU with a degree in Animal and Nutritional Sciences. My grandma gave me my love of animals growing up and I couldn't imagine going into any other field!

Growing up I only ever had dogs and cats. But as of now I have 2 cats -Rohan and Luna, a cinnamon green cheek - Lizzy, anole - Treeko, a corn snake - Jones and an axolotl - Discord. (If you can't tell by the names, I'm a bit of a nerd =P) Never thought I'd end up being owned by so many different critters wouldn't change a bit of it!

Here's a few pics of my little zoo.
(One of my favorite things is designing naturalistic reptile enclosures)

Little baby Discord he's about 3" long right now and will grow to about a foot! I had two axolotls before him that ended up breeding. But my old roommate ending up killing the adults while I was away on vacation D: Discord is the only baby I kept.

Jones! My little hatchling cornsnake. The youngest in my zoo below is a picture of his current set up, and then below that (just finished it! can't resist showing it off!) is the 40g I'm moving him into when he gets older!

Welcome to the forum! LOVE your terrariums! We also have a small "zoo" with the reptiles/amphibians (and our feathery self-appointed "king of the jungle" of course). Though I must say, I'm a little embarrassed after seeing the homes you have for your scaly friends How old is Lizzy?

 

[Cyrinaluna]

Thanks everyone

We were told Lizzy was less than a year but older than 6 months. They weren't 100% sure. So I'm just saying she's 9 months old for simplicity's sake haha.

Don't be at all embarrassed so long as the occupants are happy then the terrariums are perfect! I interned at a zoo in college and helped design smaller enclosures so I just personally prefer the natural designs plus DIY projects are fun!
