A Reintroduction - amanda509 - 04-28-2014
Hey everyone! My name is Manda, I've been on here for quite some time but have been seriously busy and inactive online, so here's a reintroduction!
I graduate from business school in about 2 weeks.
I've been keeping reptiles for about 8 years.
I've bred Chameleons for 5 years, and Leopard Geckos for 2 years.
I now rescue.
I work at a Petco which is #3 in the company, and #1 for reptile care and sales. I work in the reptile and aquatics department.
I live with my boyfriend whom I've been dating for over a year (and he STILL puts up with my crazy antics!).
I love reptiles and bugs, but I also have 5...yes, 5...cats. and I free lease 2 horses.
I also love freshwater planted aquariums, and have a 40 gallon to set up, but the darn basement (the reptile room in renovation) keeps flooding from the melting snow.
Need to know anything else? Ask!
now its time for pictures...
This is me and MY cat, Mr M :3 We just woke up from a nap, so pardon my bed head.

Welcome back, Manda!
Do you still have all these animals in the pictures? That's a lot of pets to take care of. They all look wonderful.
Nice salad for your tortoise lol. Did I see strawberry?
Was the Crested Gecko the same one you won as a prize from way back?
Cute big eyes lol.
I like your hamster too. She doesn't look mean from the photo.
How do you get all of these animals get along with each other?

All the animals in the photos are in my posession
And thanks..she loves strawberries even though they are bad for her!
Yep, same gecko...just 5x her original size lol we went through a rough patch where she wasn't eating her gecko diet and only wanted insects, that created a small calcium deficiency but it got corrected.
That hamster almost took my finger off....she did win 3rd place at the Petco hamster races though

Hello Manda!
What a lovely bunch you have!
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful photos with us. It is nice to see someone so passionate about animals. I especially enjoyed the beautiful horses you have. What gorgeous coats they have.
