Congrats NatureLady! Thats so great to learn about you and your career path! I would kill to work at a zoo, but I only have a degree in Visual arts. Went for Nursing but the 2 year waiting list changed my mind. I am too old to wait around to fight with 18 year olds to get in haah Can't wait to hear more about you and your little ones kids and pets hah

Yeah, nursing is a tough degree to keep up with. I have known plenty of people drop it and decide to do something different. I am very happy that I am able to do what I do. If only the pay was as rewarding as the feelings I get when I do my job!

Oh and if you couldn't tell, I talk a lot!!! hahaha

I have actually been in the medical field for 8 years! I wanted to advance my career from being a medical receptionist. My dream job actually years and yearsssss ago was a tattoo artist haha. I love to talk and I love photography too

How did I come to keep frogs? I was given a grow a tadpole kit as a child and raised a wild type African Clawed Frog.

Mistakes/learning curves? I make mistakes all of the time and I learn every time I log into this forum. I think know it all's are annoying! I will be the first to admit that I make mistakes. My biggest since being here...I used colored paper towels for a photo of my new babies and it was pointed out that was bad. I really thought non-toxic ink would be ok...well duh, for me it is...I felt like an a**. I really enjoy reading the build threads, even though I have not completed a full GS build. I am quietly in progress on my first, at work.

Amphibian Species Kept? On this day I care for...1 Australian White's Tree Frog (Pimby), 1 American Green Tree Frog (Kermit who is a girl). At work...1 Grey Tree Frog, 1 Dwarf American Toad. In the past I have also kept a Tiger, Spotted, and Dusky Salamanders, Spade foots (my favorite W Oklahoma Native toad), Narrow Mouth Toads, Cricket Frogs, and I'm sure I am forgetting a species somewhere.

Other Species Kept...I'm going to post photo's tomorrow of some of these guys

Breeding? Lol. Not currently, but I have to add this one for you guys. When I was a kid and kept that zoo I spoke of yesterday, I caught two toads stuck together. Mind you I was under 10. I was baffled the next morning as to what had happened. That was a learning curve!!!!

How I found FF? I have been abscessed with terrarium building for a few years and now that my kids are getting a bit older I started building them again (small ones). Then I started researching how to make the displays for work better for the animals and public. BOOM...Frog Forum. I then decided I wanted a viv and then I started the research on what was out there in pet land and what my stores had local. I found a exo terra on craigs list, a WTF local, and boom here we are. My other half calls FrogForum...my frogp*rn because I am always on here looking a threads and photo's of everyone's babies.
