Hey everyone,
It's about time I joined this site. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Manolis, and I'm half Greek half Turkish. Ive lived in Texas since I was 3 years old, and I'm 25 going on 26 now. I've had a great love for reptiles since I was a kid. My collection is comprised of 5 tegus, 4 of which are argentine red tegus, and one of which is an argentine b/w. 4/5 of the tegus live in my backyard in their own enclosures based off of Bobby Hills design. The one that lives inside is only 2 months old, so he's got a good while before he gets to live outside. My oldest tegu is Bruce my b/w, then comes Buzz, then Camille and Tinka, and finally, Woody, my newest addition.
I've also got a female American alligator named Babe, who was my first large reptile (really my dads but I take care of her nowadays), Perkele my male crocodile monitor, and Finn, my male Blackthroat monitor. These 3 live on my ranch, which is about 2 hours from where I live. Babe has her own small scaled natural pond/lake to live in, and she's in a closed off space. The monitors live in a large barn, separated from one another. I visit them almost every weekend or whenever I go hog hunting. The rest of the time, they're fed by our friends who live in the area.
That's about it, I'll be posting pics of Babe this coming weekend if she hasn't dug her self for the day. If you've got any comments or questions, shoot em.

I can't wait to see pics of your gator. Do you know how old she is?
