Post Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2008 4:58 pm   Hello all!

My name is Ben, I was finally able to register on this site, for some reason I was having a hard time getting on....anyways I'm glad I'm here. I've been rescuing and keeping RES turtles now for the last eight years. I run a reptile & amphibian rescue near Toronto, Ontario Canada. In the last couple of years I've been able to help about 20 RES find new homes; along with about a dozen other little critters. I really enjoy doing what I do.
At this time I have nine turtles and several other reptiles & amphibians. To help fund this project I do breed a small variety of geckos and sell them or trade for equipment. Please visit my website and if I can help anyone please feel free to contact me.

Thank you, I hope to one day have a better web site, I hate the pop up adds and the advertisement on the site. I also want to have the adoption contract and screening forms on line.

That is so awesome! There are so many rescues for the furry critters, but this is the first for reptile & Amphibian I have ever seen. I think it would be well needed, many people get these kind of pets as a novelty without realizing the work that it takes to maintain them.
I love the name! In the Gekko! Hilarious!
