Hello to all my fellow herpers!!!!

Hello!
I live in Northern califorinia and am 13 years old. About six months ago I began raising various species of Mantids, including the Chinese Mantis (Tenodera sinensis), Indian Flower Mantis (Creobroter pictipennis), and the Ghost Mantis (Phyllocrania paradoxa). I also have a tank full of pet dubia roaches, 2 false tarantulas from my own backyard , and an unidentified "Giant" spider given to me by a girl I know who works at an exotic pet shop. I also have an Ensatina (Ensatina escholtzii) which I found half-dried up in my yard, and a male Albino Pac-Man frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli), all of which I am keeping in my bedroom. Anyway, I'm excited about learning more about the hobby of keeping amphibians as pets, and frog forum seems like just the right place for that!

make sure you guys get permission from your parents for this site. I hate to be that one person but the founder of this site usually catches on. I wouldnt advertise your age on these forums. but with that aside welcome! I have quite the collection of animals myself. Just started colonizing blaptica dubias and gryllus assimilis
