Hi everyone! My name is Shannon, I'm 19 years old and I'm a rare native of sunny FL. I'm an animal lover of all sorts, I love my pit bull Buddy to death and consider him my best friend, and have been riding horses (and have my own since I was 6) since I was 5. I also have an assortment of different herps, including 2 boa constrictors, a bearded dragon, 2 pacman frogs (both rescues!), a leucistic leopard gecko, and of course my two greek tortoises! Growing up I've had a few different kinds of aquatic turtles and box turtles, I've always had a soft spot for the chelonian type, and a year ago for my birthday got back into it with my mom buying me my two girls at a reptile show. I actually just recently moved them OUTDOORS which they seem infinitely happier than in, and I joined this site mostly to learn all I can about them and upgrade their enclosure!

Here's a picture of Jade and Isis...

And me with a colombian boa at a reptile show last week!
