Noobish reptile keper in Riverside SoCal

Whats up, my name is Sergio, I live in Riverside CA. I've kept reptiles a couple years ago for the first time but I had to sell them when I moved.

Now that I have my own place, I decided to keep some reptiles because they are my favorite kind of pets, and I was never allowed to keep them when I was a kid. My nana was a herp-o-phobe :)

Well, all those years of missing out have exploded into my current collection:

1.2 crested geckos

0.0.1 albino leopard gecko

0.0.1 african house snake (maculata)

1.0.1 ball pythons


Believe it or not I got all of these animals in the last month!

Don't worry, I researched the needs of all of them and had this planned before I got them. :)

See you around :)

Glad you prepared yourself before purchasing the animals themselves. :) Congrats on finally being able to get the reptiles you wanted!

And welcome to the site! I actually live about 15 minutes from Riverside, lol but I will be moving to Las Vegas in two weeks.

Welcome to BP.net :)

Thanks, I've kept fish for years and it taught me how important it is to know the ins and outs of your pets before getting them.

Wow all the way to vegas? Best of luck :) Your avatar is really cool btw! Have you ever gone to LLL reptile in Menifee? I just went there for the first time recently, that's where I got my mall ball. You should check it out before you leave.

Only three hours. :) And thank you, that picture was actually taken in Vegas, lol.
I personally have never been to LLL, but have talked to some of the people from there at a few shows/expos, nice people. I was going to go tomorrow morning to pick up some PAM, but instead am having an acquaintance bring it to the SD Show for me next weekend, lol. They do have a nice collection though! Congrats!

Yeah they all seem like cool people, their prices on feeders are good too.

What is PAM? Just curious. :oops:

PAM is the acronym used in reference to Provent-a-Mite. :)
Fantastic thing to keep on hand when keeping any reptiles.
