I love reptile cleaning day. Today I was getting to an old 20 gallon I had taken out of storage. I don't know why I store this old tank, its got to be over 10 years old, I remember getting it as my first "large tank". It once housed three female leo geckos.
Cleaning this cage brought back so many memories, including what I consider was My first reptile. Family wise we had turtles but my dad took care of them. My first real reptile was a small Central American Banded gecko. This is what started me on the path as a reptile hobbiest. I got Tiger and wanted to get her a mate, which had me searching reptile mags and funas paper list until I found out about reptile shows. With in three year I was producing CA geckos each year and I was also becoming big locally for leo geckos. Now I got into larger lizards but I still have the itch to get back into banded geckos.
Its funny to think that a small gecko kicked all this off. That old tank I keep with me housed some of my first hatchlings and now I think it might help restart my gecko collection.
Well sorry about the walk down memory lane, I was just wondering what kicked off everyone else's collection.
