Hey everyone, just registered today and happy to be part of this community! I'll give you guys some background, I am 24 years old and living in New Jersey.
I have been around animals my whole life, my father owned a fish store when I was young, my cousin also owned a pet store. I started really getting into fish about a year ago when I decided I wanted to setup a 30 gallon tank. From there it just became an addiction, I can't go a couple of days now without going to local fish stores and seeing what's new in there. Now I have four fish tanks going, with several other tanks with reptiles and amphibians. I will post pictures of what I have eventually, but here is a picture of my main attraction at my house. My Alligator Snapping Turtle, named Bowser. She is about 9 years old now and currently in a 90 gallon tank. I am in the process of getting a 220 gallon for her to really thrive in. Have had her for 7 years now, and weighs about 25lbs.
