Hey everyone, my name's Leon. I'm an east coast reptile lover, based mainly in NYC but also in FL. Im a collector at heart, current collections include watches, pens, and knives. I've previously had numerous reptiles, and always craved a snake... Or two... Or three . Knowing my history, this will probably be my new big collection.

I recently attended the whiteplains reptile expo. I saw many beautiful reptiles, in particular beardies and ball pythons (and one magnificent Honduran snake).

I wanted so badly to pick up some of the beauties I saw at the show, but alas the effing ATM was out of money and the nearest one was far as hell...

I've been reading this site since that show and have decided that I am hooked. You guys seem to be massively knowledgeable and friendly, with a variety surpassing anything I have previously known.

I'll be at the next show on the 12th, perhaps I'll meet a few of you guys in the process!
