Hey everyone and thanks for all the congratulation. So my names Trever, as some of you might know I am a curator of a reptile and amphibian museum. As far as family goes I am a single father, my sons name is Cyrus and he just turned 8 on the 4th. I was born and raised in So. Ca, as a child, with a single mom, I was always out catching any and all critters I could find. Needless to say I almost gave my mom a few heart attacks. The first frog I ever bought as a pet was 2 grey tree frog in second grade, at the time red eyes were $65-75 and my mom could aford that. As far as my favorite color.... im color blind for real. When I'm not at work, im there 6-7 days a week, I like to camp, fish, build stuff (I've'built my son a pirate ship, a a treehouse, a catapult ect) snowboard, play airsoft (was cpt. of a sponsored team for 4 years, team Ronin) and being Irish have a few Guinness and maybe a shot of Jamesons. I am also trying to finish my falconry apprenticeship, in which I'll specialise in owls.

Thanks for sharing! How'd you get into falconry? That sounds real cool. Owls are such beautiful animals. They look so cute and soft and delicate and then you see them rip into a mouse! Our zoo has two owls that are kept outside in an out of the way exhibit and we always manage to get there at feeding time. Parents come with their kids and are like "oh little Johnny look at the cute owls!" then are horrified when they see mouse intestines coming from their beak!
