[Locascio]

Hello Frog Forum and thank you for this great opportunity. Myname is Vincent Locascio Jr. I am 26 years old. I am happily married and have abeautiful 10 month old daughter. Other than amphibians for pets, I have a dog(Mia) who is 8 and a cat (Babycakes) who is 4. I currently live in St.Petersburg, Florida and I work as a dog groomer 5 days a week. I enjoy readingand have an extensive library dedicated to many species of animals andamphibians. I have recently started putting together custom collages of frogphotos and related information into frames for my personal collection at home.
I was born in SouthFlorida. I can remember me and my brother catching iguanas in Hollywood. (Theywere everywhere. You could be driving and see them sun bathing in the streets.Some of them as large as 5 feet long. Just amazing! ) We would sell most ofthem to Strictly Reptiles and use the money to support my leopard Geckobreeding projects. I can also remember seeing huge spawns of Bufo toads andsouthern toads in the everglades and swamps. We would always be on the lookoutfor the largest of the Bufo toads. Catching 8-10 inch frogs wasn’t uncommon. Atthe time I had no desire to have them as pets but it was still fun.
While I was inhigh school I worked for a reptile shop called Gold Coast Reptiles in BrowardCo. I worked the storefront and took care of the animals. At the time, Leopardgeckos were the hot thing. It was a full time job just cleaning, watering, andfeeding Craig Tillems breeding stock. That was an experience that will last alifetime.
Mylove of frogs began 3 years ago when I traded my collection of Tarantulas to awholesaler for a few dozen C. Cranwelli. I began to raise these frogs andinstantly fell in love. I lost a few in the process but quickly learned how tomaintain my stock. Now I am in constantpursuit of knowledge. If it is about frogs, I’ve read it! My wife says it’s anobsession and she may just be right! I am still learning everyday but I like tothink I am an experienced frog keeper and am always ready to help a new frogowner. Any new information that can be traded on the Forum is awesome and Iwelcome it! I thank the members of the Forum for running such an awesome siteand I feel it is the best site related to amphibians on the web. Keep up thegood work!
I would like togive a big shout out to Mike from Mikes Phat Frogs, Griff the Great, Jenste,Heatheranne, Deedub, Flybyferns, and everyone else that I might have forgottenya’ll rock !!!
