I have been an
animal lover all my life, but did not become active with
reptiles and amphibians until my college years.
During break between classes, I would go outside to
view and capture (temporarily) various species of local
frogs. I was
dubbed the Frog Lady.
After realizing that I was utterly fascinated by the
green, squishy critters, I became obsessed with building
tropical vivariums to house them in.
My sister gave me my first Red Eye Tree Frog and it's
been downhill since then.
In 1999, a small group of
reptile lovers (myself and two others), responded to the
problem of several local pet stores being charged with
animal neglect by starting a reptile society.
Bay County Reptile and Amphibian Society was born.
I resided as president of the society for roughly 3
1/2 years, after which I resigned.
Somehow though, I seem to still be in charge of it.
Hobbies/interests: writing/journalism, cooking, cake
decorating, horseback riding, herping, reading (especially
the works of Ayn Rand).
Dislikes:
Neighbors, people that eat with their mouths open,
people that don't whistle well but do it anyway, soggy
cereal, roaches, rednecks that run over snakes on the road,
movies that will show women in the nude but always manage to
cover the vital parts of the male.
My motto:
I don't ask for much, all I want in life, is to own
all the land that is touching my land.
