A Letter from Steve
When I was a very
young boy, one of my first pets was a big green tree frog. It
used to live on top of my digital clock enjoying the tiny bit of
warmth that it produced. That tree frog could eat a whole mouse
and would sit there with just the tail hanging out of its mouth
for ages. Quite amazing!
From
there I went on to keep bigger and better reptiles and
amphibians as pets. Eventually my mother refused to go into my
room, not knowing what she would find in there.
I
spent most of my youth out in the bush looking for reptiles,
observing them in their habitat and reading as much as I could
about them. My father used to say that if I devoted as much time
to my school work as I did to studying reptiles, I would be a
genius. I may not be a genius but I sure learned a lot just
doing something I loved.
As a
boy I remember wanting to learn everything I could about
reptiles. As a man, that dream goes on. |
