Folks,
My name is Scott and I live in the San Jose area of Northern California. I am 47 years old, have been married for 23 years, but have no children. When I was young, I entertained thoughts of becoming an entomologist or herpetologist. When I found out that it was hard to make money in those fields, I changed my vocation plans. I have worked in the computer industry since 1980.
In high school, there was a great science teacher (Mr. Specman) that had all manner of interesting insects, reptiles, and amphibians. He gave me my first mantis. I am not sure what species it was but I would guess it was a Chinese mantis (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis) or a California Mantis (Stagmomantis californica). I have kept Gopher snakes, King snakes, and California Newts as well.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know what I was interested in and maybe get some advice.
Regards,
Scott
