Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets Off-Topic for Parakeet Owners Hi Everyone :]

Hey guys, I figured I'd do a little bit of an update for ya, since I'm not on a ton anymore.

I'm doing pretty well myself, nothing to brag about i guess. I'm going into my 3rd year of college and its rather stressful. for those of you that don't know, I'm now a double-major in biology and psychology (the psych is "just for fun"/ fallback option), and I plan on going to vet school afterwards. right now, I'm actually *supposed* to be in class, but the professors are on strike...so no class at the moment. which really, REALLY sucks.

As far as the animals go, they are really doing fantastic! I've got more stuff than i really should, but everyone is well taken care of and very spoiled! hehe.

Right now, I've got:
~14 crested geckos (+ 12 babies on hold and for sale and about 16 eggs)
~2 gargoyle geckos (I'm getting two more this weekend, too)
~1 dune gecko
~6 leopard geckos
~1 tokay gecko
~1 bearded dragon
~2 ball pythons (plus, I'll be fostering another starting this week)
~4 tarantulas (red knee, curly hair, rose hair, chaco golden knee)
~3 rats (yes, i still have them! peace is like 2yo old now!)
~1 betta, who just got a few friends today, a green painted tetra and a neon tetra
~2 lazy cats


That's it
I'm getting a green tree python from a friend for my birthday, too!


If you want to see any of the animals, I'll post some pics of them. I just don't have time to post *all* of them right now. hehe.

I'm still doing a lot of photography, I just don't have a ton of time to spare. I'm actually getting some of my photos into a local art gallery soon

I'm still working on my website, but it's good for now, it takes up some of my free time to update/maintain but i like it (shameless plug, it's www.skgeckos.com )

That's it, i guess... told you my life isnt that exciting :P

If anyone wants to add me on Facebook to keep in touch, look up "Sam Kaca"



I miss you all!

Sam, thank you for the update. I went to your website and looked at all your pictures. Truly impressive. Congratulations on getting some of your pics in a gallery.

I am so glad to hear that all is going well.

Have to ask, does your mom know about the tarantulas.

Thank you!
Yes, she now knows about the Tarantulas. She still gets freaked out by them, and wont go anywhere near them lol. once, i was photographing them, and she walked by the room. she totally freaked out to see one on my hand XD


Oh, and just to give you guys a taste... this is what I'm workin with these days:


(thats most of the stuff.. not all though )

Wow you have so many animals. I also want to be a vet. At this time classes in college are so hard to get. Good luck with that!

i am also supprised at how much animals you are allowed to have. isnt hard to clean all the cages/tanks in colledge?

My daughter wants to be a vet, after deciding a couple weeks ago she wants to work at an Apple store.
I bet my daughter would make a good vet.
She loves all animals with her heart.


And wow!
You have a lot of animals, The_Zookeeper.

i am dying to be a vet.

i dont like snakes because i saw a picture of one eating a poor bunny rabbit ... but thats just my opinion

Well, it's okay to have an opinion about animals, just like how I have opinions about spiders.
Eeeeew!
Spiders!
Yuck!!

We all have different opinions.
So that's good that you have yours and i have mine!

I live at home, if that's what you're asking. My mother doesn't mind most of the animals. I could never live on campus. As far as time goes, yes, the animals are quite time-consuming, but i get it done, cause i love it


Well, I'd rather not get started arguing about that, but a snake's gotta eat, too.
