Hello,
I´m new here for some days and its exactly what I was searching for.
I´m 19 years old, from the south of Germany near Lake Constance. Since I´m about 10 years old, my special interest was in reptiles and amphibians, it was about that time I also startet to keep different species, my interest already at that time was especially with tortoises (Testudo spec.) and terrapins. Also it were more the european and north african species than the "exotic" ones from abroad that was fascinating.
So for about two years I more and more stop keeping now (except my Testudo and Podarcis) and more search for the animals in their habitats. I´m not the best Photographer but I´m a lot outside, nearly every holiday is for fieldherping at the moment.
The next bigger trip will be after school this year from july till about mid of august when I will make a tour through the north of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia (with the three big islands in the north).
I hope to meet a lot of nice people here.
Dominik
