Hi, I am a junior at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY, majoring in Wildlife Science with plans for grad school.
I keep a huge variety of herps, but my frogs are currently limited to Ceratophyrs and Pyxicephalus. I have had a bunch of others in the past, and spent 5 years working in pet stores. I love frogs, but I also keep lizards, snakes, tropical fish, arachnids, and other critters.
I am currently undergraduate TAing a class in the Environmental and Forest Biology Department, EFB 485, Herpetology. Over the summer I worked as a field tech surveying the Eastern Hellbender in southern NY.
BTW, that is the only way to hold them, around the girdles. We were measuring her (64cm), so I figured what is an extra 5 seconds of stress to snap a pic. She was pit tagged and released.
