    Hi Toni!
    Yeah, I had two green tree pythons.  One I had since he was a month old so I got to watch him turn from yellow to adult green which was cool.  The other one was already an adult but had bits of blue and white coloration.  They were my babies.  I didn't get a chance to make it to the daytona convention  yet.  Gotta check it out.  Oh yeah, are there any good reptile shops in HK? The ones I've seen treat their animals very bad and they all look sick.

    You're a herpetologist, sweet!  I love animals (well, maybe not some insects that want to invade my house or garden en masse) and am always trying to be aware of the animals in my neighborhood.  There are some amazing tree frogs calling after the rain these days that I hear on my walks.  I have been hearing a new species that I can't identify from its call.  But I think it must be a tree frog, because it doesn't sound like any insect I'm familiar with nor any bird.  It is also in the trees near the tree frogs I am familiar with and they are calling at the same time after the rain.  Since I never see them, I guess I never know what I'm dealing with.  There was also this great little frog living in one of my potted plants that was hopping around the last time was was watering.  Like Jaine, we also have several varieties of skinks around here, and many kinds of snakes.  I always hate it when people go out of their way to kill snakes.  Someone at work was talking so proudly of a big black snake that they had killed because it got into a bird nest and ate up the babies.  I just looked at her like she was a murderer and explained that those baby birds the snake was eating were surplus (we are on third brood here, now) and most of them would have died of natural causes if the snake hadn't eaten them.  In a certain sense, because they are third brood, they were born to be food to for the local predators.  This didn't fly with these "tender hearted" ladies at work.  I still feel really bad for the snake.  It didn't deserve to die for doing what comes naturally.

    our geckos are rare, I have never seen one in the wild - only lots of skinks.
    I did get to hold a tuatara before I left NZ which was pretty special (to me anyway).
    hehe, I can't speak for other kiwis but I would like to hold a snake - but not one a I encountered in the wild.   The snakes in your photos did not endear me to them but maybe in person I would feel different.

    it's great you want to work with reptiles, often (well in NZ anyway) people want to protect the high profile cute and fluffly endangered animals but our skinks, geckos and native amphibians don't get the public protection they should.  (The exception would be the Tuatara)

    Hi and welcome
    thanks for visiting my page - I'm guessing it was my gecko profile shot.
    Cool, your an environmentalist.  I'm hoping to volunteer with an organisation called Koreabirds while I am in Korea.   I got excited the other day when I saw a frog I had never seen before.  I'm such a dweeb.
    Look forward to reading your blogs.
