Hi everyone!

I am a new owner by surprise after finding my little girl out front of my house. So far it seems to be a Stagmomantis californica, but not definite. It isn't in great health I assume but I hope to change that.

Anyway, my name is Randall, age 24, and I work as a Computer Testing Lead at a large electronics retailer (10 points to whoever guesses which one!). My hobbies are plentiful and include:

Physics, Astronomy, Photography, Aviation, Computers, 3D Modeling, Making Music, and tons more

I love animals all alike and am especially fond of reptiles. I own ball pythons at the moment and hope to expand that extensively.

Currently in school for a B.S. in Physics (started late) and eventually hope for a Ph.D in the future.

I appreciate all the helpful knowledge from everyone here and look forward to good time!

Welcome. I wouldn't say you started late. I am 32 and am back in school for a bs in biology. I will probably go to graduate school right after this is done.

Welcome! My name is Randall, too.

As for starting late, 24 is not so bad. I began grad school at 35 and am only now finishing up my Ph.D. (in historical linguistics) at 44.

Nice name!

Congrats on the school work. Takes a good amount of motivation to go back to school. Hm, Dr. Randall, ya that does sound good
