mama2cntrykids Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 He's very happy about it, but he isn't getting any traffic. He really wanted a place to talk to other kid's about their reptiles, but couldn't find one, so he went ahead and figured out how to do one himself. So, if anyone out there has a child who has, or is interested in reptiles (or amphibians), please consider checking out his forum :). http://reptilekids.freeforums.org/ He would be SO happy to have a few kids to chat with about reptiles/amphibians. He desires to be a Herpetologist when he's an adult. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I shared this with some friends with kids, hope he get some traffic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We are ALL over this. No one likes reptiles like my kids! LOL. :tongue_smilie: Heading on over to check it out... :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 cool. On our way out shortly but once we get home I will see if my kids want to join. They love their reptiles and would enjoy talking to other kids about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 My kids aren't into reptiles, but I just wanted to say way to go for taking the initiative! Awesome! I hope he gets plenty of members and discussion. Have you or him thought to advertise on other forums? For example, if there's a regular reptile forum, many members might have children who might be interested in their own forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You need to pm dmmetler since her daughter has a strong interest in this area. I'll let my DD know but she can't type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sent the link to one of my friend's kids. His fb pic is him with some sort of a python around his neck from a reptile show. Ought to be a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama2cntrykids Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks for checking it out and passing info along. My ds really appreciates it! He only really has one friend that likes reptiles, but this friend lives 2.5 hours away, so they have limited contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I set up an account for my DD8 (but had to put in her birthdate as 2000 for it to take). I think she'll love this. She's on several forums with adult experts/breeders/hobbyists, but I think she'll enjoy being able to chat with other kids who love reptiles and amphibians. If you'd like, I'll PM a couple of people on the snake forum DD is on who I know have children (DD's one of the only kids who actually posts, but there are several other parents who adopted snakes because their child likes them, and then got hooked themselves). I'll have to check with the board owners/mods and see if they'd be OK with me posting an open link or not (I know there are rules on that-but I think they're mostly to limit breeders from posting "for sale" ads across all the forums).

Mom2TheTeam Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So Cool! My son loves repiles and amphibians. Most recently, we incubated and hatched 7 baby turtles. We gave 3 away and we still have 4 of them...for now. My son doesn't type, but maybe I'll mention it to him and help him out with it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh, I also wanted to add that I moderate the forum, so it will have an adult overseeing conversation. I get nervous about adults posing as kids, so I will keep a close eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay! Thanks for setting that up. I will let my ds know tomorrow. I was waiting to see if anyone signed up before telling him that I posted this. I didn't want a huge let down. Yes, please do pass on the link to more kids. He would be super excited to "talk shop" with other kids! I will have him get on there tomorrow and post a picture of his gecko, Snide, for anyone who's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks again everyone. My ds said that he's "so excited" about the other kids posting on his site. I have to admit, it's pretty neat to watch these kids talk about their reptiles/anphibeans (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I passed it on to my 13 year old who has a gecko and her friend's sister, who has a bearded dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
