About Me
Well, my name is Reid and I have been into reptiles since 2000 when I was 14 years old. It all started when my dad got me a female Russian tortoise. Since then, there has been no turning back. I quickly, but responsibly, found out about all of the interesting species of tortoises and their care. Ever since then, I started expanding my collection. Now, I am up to around 50 animals representing 17 different species. As you can tell, my true interest is in tortoises, but I recently got involved with chameleons and jungle carpet pythons.
Since there is no way I could ever be a full time reptile breeder, I am pursuing my career goal by going to Cal Poly Pomona to become a zoo veterinarian that specializes in reptiles. Hopefully after Pomona, I will transfer to the University of California, Davis, for vet school. I also work part time in a veterinary hospital that sees reptiles on a regular basis.
Over the years that I have worked at the vet office, I have gained a great amount of reptile medicine knowledge, so feel free to E-MAIL me if you have a reptile medicine question.
