Hi everyone. My full name, given at birth, even though I really don't enjoy the last name much, is Amanda Lou Suedmeier

. I've been a member around here for awhile but I don't post a whole lot. I do check in everyday to see what is going on. Currently I'm 23 and a student at Colorado State University. I will be graduating in December with a degree in Watershed Science but I'm not really looking forward to it. I'm not quite ready for the responsibility of a career. I kind of like how much I was able to change jobs while in school. My main interest is crested geckos. I went from none to lots! It was love at first sight. This year has been my first breeding season and I think it went pretty well. I'll just have to see how many people really like my geckos at my first show in November. I've hatched a told of 18 eggs, and 5 of them hatched yesterday. I love looking in the incubation container, seeing all the eggs, and wondering what the little hatchling inside will look like. Not like I really need to wonder anymore. I used one male for breeding and almost all of the 18 hatchlings look exactley the same even though there were 6 different ladies laying them. Besides the over 40 cresties that reside in our condo, I have 4 leopard geckos, 2 tree frogs, 2 cats, bunches of fish, and one boyfried (at least that's what he thinks

). My boyfriend is also a member here, his name is Hzrds(Matt). I promise I have other interests other than the geckos. I love making jewlery, and I've recently gotten into wireworking. When I'm not in school I really like to read. There is a library right across the street from us and I've finally started using it. I play soccer with the same co-ed recreation team that I've played with for over 5 years now. Last but not least, I can't wait for winter. I love snow! I promise you where I live in colorado it is not the winter wonderland that everyone thinks it is. We may get a little snow but it's melted the next day. We have got the strangest weather around here. The night before I graduated from high school (almost june) there was 6 inches of snow on the ground and the next day it was 85 degrees!! I guess I've started rambling now, but that's me! Now for some pictures!!

This is how I ski

Are cats supposed to sleep like this?

Last, but not least a couple gecko pictures:
