Howdy from a farm in Texas

Howdy y'all! :D

First time reefer here. Figured I'd give it a go because my life wasn't chaotic enough living on a farm and become a first time mom back in October. I grew up/have been around freshwater tanks my whole life, and I decided to bite the bullet and just jump all in on a saltwater tank last week randomly. I'm a certified aow and nitrox diver with naui, so I figured I'd bring some the ocean home ha-ha. It's been so far quite the journey to read up on all things saltwater, looking at different corals/fish, and just learning all that I can.

When I'm not lurking this forum, you can find me outside usually tending towards my growing collections of animals on the farm. I currently raise heritage Berkshire pigs, heritage turkeys, chickens, and ducks for consumption. I have two Texas longhorns steers that I purchased for my birthday in 2022, five rescued horses (mostly seniors), a donkey, five dogs (2 gsd, 1 anatolian, and 2 mutts who were dumped at our gate), a goose, and a panther chameleon.

For a living I breed ball pythons, and am known in that industry for importing uncommon genes and working them into projects. I have roughly around 180 snakes in my collection, and about 600 - 700 rodents (I breed them). So, there's that :zany-face:

Anyways, looking forward to lurking some more and maybe posting around here or there.
