    Hello everybody! My name is Ben and I am currently studying to be a wildlife biologist in the near future. I am an avid birdwatcher and I love hiking as well. I enjoy amusement parks and I’m also a reptile and amphibian lover. I have 5 dart frogs, a crested gecko, and 3 cats. I’ve always had a passion for zoos and aquariums and you can find me frequently at the Philadelphia Zoo, ZooAmerica, and the Lehigh Valley Zoo. My favorite zoo that I’ve been to is the Colombus Zoo. I look forward to meeting new people and learn more about zoos!

    I share these interests as well and I'm willing to bet many other zoochatters do too.

    Welcome!

    Welcome Ben! Did your frogs come from the store in Lancaster? They tend to have some neat species :)

    No, I got 3 from a breeder near Philadelphia and I bought two from Josh’s Frogs. All of them are pretty young so I can’t wait for them to grow to their full sizes.

    Oh! Well if you want more, you should check there :) They occasionally have species I've never seen in any zoo.
