New from VA

[Ayla]

Hi everyone! New here, from Dinwiddie, VA! I'm 18 years old, and I, like most of you here, am addicted to reptiles, snakes in particular. I have 20 of my own, and that number grows every chance I get. My collection is as follows:

1.1 Leucistic Pines
1.2 Black Rats (Leucistic, leucistic, normal, respectively)
1.2 Leucistic TX Rats
2.2 Bull Snakes (Hypo whitesided, whitesided, normal het. whitesided, normal, respectively)
2.1 Ball Pythons (Normal, Normal 100% het. albino, normal 100% het. albino, respectively)
1.1 Axanthic Subocs
1.0 Okeetee Corn
1.0 Albino Checkered Garter
0.1 Rainbow Boa

I take my collection very seriously. Reptiles are pretty much my life. I also plan on breeding several of these snakes this year, including the subocs, and the TX rats.

I'll post pics of the collection here shortly.

Welcome to the site Ayla. It sounds like you have a nice collection. I'll look forward to seeing those pics.

You don't happen to be a Star Wars fan?

Forgot to add, other than herps, I have dogs, cats, fish, millipedes, rats, a tarantula, stick bugs, birds...and I think thats it.

The cat in my avatar is Lion Heart, a pygmy cat. She's itty bitty, but super fluffy and cute. I also have a grey-striped and white cat named Sasha, a solid grey with white feet and a white belly cat named Priscilla (she's super boring), a massive solid orange cat named Juke, a grey-striped manx (tailess) named, ironically, Stripe, and a solid black cat named Smokey.

Dogs = 3 chiuauahs, 2 black and brown girls, Kiki, and April, her daughter, and a tan boy named Thumper, but I call him Teddy Loco, and 1 fat beagle named Quinn.

Too many goldfish to count. 2 giant millipedes, super cool animals, a ton of Vietnamese stick bugs, a ton of snake food, aka rats, 3 doves and a cockatiel...we live in a zoo. My grandparents love animals just as much as I do, considering some of these belong to them.

Thanks! My grandpa is actually a HUGE Star Wars fan...were you wondering about Ayla? I think in the saga, it's Aayla Secura, my grandpa has told me about it. But Ayla is actually on my birth certificate. It comes from the series of books by Jean Auel, Clan of the Cave Bear. The main character's name was Ayla.

I like the name. I had forgotten about it been the main character in the Cave Bear series too, and yes I was think Ayla Secura. I have a nine year old that quizzes me on all things Star Wars, Pokemon and now hockey.

Be sure to post pics of Lionheart and all the other critters too.
