Hey JB..

After spotted's.. these have to be my favorite water's..

Welcome to the forum! That's a whole bunch of animals. I also have a sulcata named Juno!

Welcome. You have a acanthurus, what's like?

Welcome! I am in Florida too, I don't think there are to many Floridians here. Nice collection.

Quote:You have a acanthurus, what's like?

He is very inquisitive. More like a bird than a reptile sometimes.

Somewhat of the same persoanlity as the beardeds(no biting, just sits with you unless he sees something, etc...) but I wouldn't trust him walking around an unsupervised room like I do with the dragons sometimes.

He's a friendly little guy and a GREAT eater.

Here he is:


Jaws:


(I have to get some better pics of him.)

They are my #1 but unfortunately they are endangered now.

Its really a shame.

Quote:I also have a sulcata named Juno!

LOL. Its just that her personality is just so......whats the word....."out there"...like always the first to wake up and say hello and the first to ask to go play in the grass etc....lol.

Quote:great collection!!! welcome to the forum[

Thanks. They're my babies.

Wow! You have a large family! Welcome to the site!

JBHerps, welcome to the forum. with your menagerie you will fit right in here. Oh, did anyone say we LOVE pics. Looking forward to more pics of your babies and stories of their adventures. By the way they are lovely looking torts and Jaws. Well what can you say except beautiful.

Welcome to TFO!! beautiful torts.. Jaws is so cute to..

Thanks everyone. I can promise you that I will have many stories to share as the sulcatas age lol.

Welcome. That is quite the zoo. You are obviously very dedicated to your animals to be able to provide for so many different needs.
