Hello from the Chicago Suburbs

[JDN]

Aloha,
Just wanted to drop a line and say "hey". I am a long time pet lover/enthusiast that is getting back into herp keeping after a bit of a hiatus.
I have only experienced the aesthetic keeper side of things and have never really dabbled in the breeding side. I have had a pair of crested geckos for the past year+ and am excited to see if there is any breeding to come.
I have also just recently purchased a few BP to try to experience some breeding awesomeness. I am currently rocking a DIY 36x24x17, 4 28qt tub, Melamine rack.
They are being warmed by a home heating pad as I jumped the gun with the animals before I had the setup. I am planning on a flexwatt belly heat setup controlled by a stc-1000 controller.
I have gathered quite a bit of info here already and am looking forward to learning more and sharing some experiences as well.

Thanks in advance for all the great information.

Welcome! I live nowhere near yall just thought I'd throw that out there. However, I did meet someone on here who lives close to me. We've become good friends. I've even got one of his females on breeding loan.
