Hello Everyone!

Hey Everyone,

I found out of this site via Dustin (Athlon), and I'm glad to be here.

Heres a little intro, although it's likely a lot here already know me.

My name is Ed, and I'm from the north east (Rhode Island) in particular. I've been keeping inverts for some time now. I kept emperors for a few years when I was younger, and never knew there was a flourishing scorpion/invert hobby. I got back into keeping emperors again during college and stumbled upon the various forums. About a month after finding out there were other "bug nerds" like me, and that there were tons of species available (other than the Emperors and "Flat-Rocks" available at pet stores). About a month after the finding all this out, I started buying new species that weren't available in stores up here. 3 Years later and here I am.

So all in all I've been keeping inverts for about 5 years. Other than that I really enjoy fishing, both open water and ice fishing. I graduated as a finance major, so I am interested in that as well. I also am a big fan of baseball, football and generally all other sports. Lastly, I have always loved the south west and even before I was passionate about inverts, I had planned to move down there. Hopefully in the next couple years I can establish my "post-college" life and be able to come down there and join you guys in Americas "sauna".

Look forward to seeing you all around,
Ed

Ed,

Glad that you made it to where the real bug nerd all hang out. When you get a chance post up a list of bugs that you are looking for from the southwest and maybe we can send you a box of creepy crawlers.

Glad to see you made it to our little site Ed.

welcome Ed
