Hey whats up

[reppinreptiles]

This is gianna from cali. whats goin on with everyone?

[Kurt]

Well, do you really want to know or are you just making small talk? Anyway, welcome aboard and please tell us something about yourself and what kind of frogs do you keep or plan to keep.

[Tom Highum]

Welcome. No offense Kurt but that sounded kinda demanding.
Well i hope you like the forum and, Kurt is generally very nice and helpful.
Great place to learn and contribute. Don't hesitate to ask John or Kurt if you ever need help with anything.
Also on this forum we love pictures of your pets (even those that are not slimy, jumpy or warty)

[Kurt]

Welcome. No offense Kurt but that sounded kinda demanding.

Did you mean demeaning? Well, it wasn't meant to be. If it came off that way, my deepest apologies. I just wanted to know if Gianna wanted to know what was really going on in my life or was she just making small talk? (I assume Gianna is a female name) I am hoping small talk, my life is to depressing to talk about.

[reppinreptiles]

haha no offense taken but i guess we should skip the small talk. i own a trio of red eyes, a pair of red efts, a pair of african dwarf frogs, a pair of golden reed frogs and an amazon milk frog. so tom and kurt what do you own?

Hi Gianna, Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing some photo's of your frogs.

[Kurt]

All of his frogs are LC and a few other things. also what does NT mean?

LC and NT are the status of the species according to IUCN (Red List). LC is least concern and NT near threatened.

[Tom Highum]

Hmm how are fire skinks? I have been looking into them. They seem really cool.

[Kurt]

I have had mine for around ten years now and she will tear your arm off if you let her. Do NOT come between here and her food!
Its a fairly easy species to keep. It doesn't need UVB like alot of other lizards do. Will eat anything, crickets, mealworms, thawed pinkies, cat food, Reptomin, and so on.

[Tom Highum]

So they are ferocious?

[reppinreptiles]

thanks everyone!

this is the first forum ive joined so i look forward to learning what they're about, i have lots of questions!

btw what does LC mean?

[Kurt]

Least concern.

[Kurt]

So they are ferocious?

Not really.
