Hi everyone. My name is chris and I live in DFW, basically right on the border of fort worth and north richland hills.
I have a account on dendroblahblah. Well about a week ago I was asking about thumbs and breeders in Texas. A nice lady referred me to a guy named Brad who lives near by that has thumbs. We conversed through email and he told me about dartden! He was telling me there are quite a few people from DFW/Texas on here. So here I am!
Graduate from Texas Tech, working in Southlake and wishing my real job was building vivariums
I have always had an interest in animals and nature. Grew up housing multiple reptiles/amphibians in various set ups. Kind of recently found out and got into the hobby. I have only built three vivariums. One right now houses 2 green tree frogs, 2 smooth green snakes and one green anole. They are living in a 35 hex. I built a ten gallon vertical, I guess basically to see if I could, well I did and it sucks haha. I am tearing it apart this weekend.
It's so addicting! I have multiple plants and broms that I have ordered that I don't know what to do with! I am learning to propagate plants right now. I should have my greenhouse built by the end of summer so hopefully I will have enough plants to share among my fellow dartden froggers. This weekend or next I am starting my 40 gallon breeder conversion. Should be interesting! I have 3 ten gallons empty that I will start after the 40. I am building an entertainment center that'll hold the 40, 10's, two 20's and the one 36 gallon bowfront. It will basically be indentical to the entertainment center I have now, except the dimensions will be fit to house the tanks.
I am babbling a lot. I love talking about this stuff and hope to meet fellow froggers in the area. Always fun to BS and check out tanks and learn new stuff. I just ordered FF culture breeding kit so I can have them ready for my thumbs.
I am adding a pic of the 36 bow I just did a few weeks ago. I know you guys hate water features for PDF's but I wasn't sure I would put anything in this. It was kind of just for fun and my viewing pleasure. It has a water feature and I don't ever want to do one again. I am tempted to do a drip wall for my 40 but if I don't, it would save me so much headache ha!
I am excited to be here and learn new stuff, ask questions, feed my imagination and make new friends!
