Slice of the Jungle

Slice of the Jungle I am a h**petoculturist with an emphasis on breeding select gecko species on a small scale. I enjoy working with reptiles. My h**p habit started at a young age.

I was always fascinated by reptiles and amphibians growing up. My interest really grew when I happened upon Hogtown Herpetological on a visit to Gainesville, Fl at the age of thirteen. My mother allowed me to purchase a striped leopard gecko to make the trip back to New York with us. My interest has only grown since then. I moved to Gainesville for several years and had the opportunity to work at

Ophiological Services, The Gourmet Rodent, and Ancient Reproductions. I learned a lot working at these breeding facilities. My interest in geckos was constantly growing and in the last couple of years my collection has grown. My collection currently includes.

1.1+ Nephrurus levis levis

Amazing little creatures.

The rising of Matariki in the night sky signifies the beginning of the traditional Māori New Year, and is a cause for celebration and reflection.

Thinking about our native h**petofauna there is one species that stands out as encapsulating this occasion.

The Hura-te-Ao gecko (Mokopirirakau galaxias) - (https://www.reptiles.org.nz/h**petofauna/native/mokopirirakau-galaxias)

To us this beautiful species represents Matariki, not only through its patterning, which is reminiscent of the stars in the night sky (where it gets its latin name "galaxias"), but also what it represents. As the te reo māori name given to this species refers to the breaking of dawn, we also believe that the discovery and recognition of these beautiful taonga, and the amazing work that many of our h**petologists carry out on a day to day basis, will pave the way for better protection and the beginning of a golden age in New Zealand h**petology.

Yellow-bellied skinks have been known to lay eggs and give birth, but they've never done both in the same litter before.
