Hi there, guys. I've always seen this forum's name pop up all over the herp world, so I figured I should finally join up

My name is Chelsea. I'm 22 and from the southern tier of New York state. I've been keeping reptiles for nearly 15 years - aside from owning them myself, I have worked at a nature conservatory that housed many, many species of chameleons, snakes, lizards, and other exotics, volunteered at a game farm that had many species of large snakes, done my own volunteer work with my snakes at schools and churches educating young children about snakes, and I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital that sees it's occasional cold-blooded creature.

My and my boyfriend are currently starting up a business breeding reptiles. We are mostly going to deal with snakes, and are currently specializing in ball pythons (of course!). However, we each have our own projects - he is going to be dabbling in blood pythons and chondros, and I in milk snakes and Burmese pythons. We are also going to be breeding Savannah monitors next year, and have plans for many more species down the road.

Anywho, I hope to talk to plenty of you, and maybe meet a few of you at the Berks and other Northeast shows!
