Welcome!

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by to check out the new Ectotherm Addiction blog. My name is Cheryl, an active herp hobbyist, and your host. This blog will be updated each Saturday, so keep an eye out and follow along! What can you expect to read here? Each week I'll post an article on a reptile related topic, different topics will include reviews of places you can go to visit reptiles in Ontario, rare species profiles, reviews of interesting reptile literature and news, photo of the month, event coverage and even possibly breeder interviews! By following this blog you may learn about a cool zoo in your area that you've never visited, or learn about a book that may be worth your time to pick up and read! The hobby of collecting reptiles is an addicting one! It often inspires the desire to grow, collect and most importantly, learn! It's my hope to be able to foster that learning bug in an exciting way! If you have ideas, comments, or would like your business/event featured in a blog post, please send me an e-mail at CherylSSheridan@gmail.com!

DeviantHerps Club- Reptile Photography


One thing that online communities do is share, in the case of animal communities, often through the medium of photography. As much as many of us like to share, many of us also love to look. For some people, use of forums might be just for the sheer pleasure at looking at photos of people’s collections. We love it when we get to see rare species, cool morphs, funny moments or just some excellent photography skills. If you’re one of these people who just can’t get enough of reptile photos, why not check out a place dedicated to just that? For those of you who don’t know Deviantart.com, it’s an online community featuring the galleries of all sorts of artists, including photographers. You can stumble on all sorts of neat treasures just by browsing, but if you know you want to see some excellent reptile photography, I’ll point you in the right direction! Check out the DeviantHerps club, which features galleries of the four major classes of reptiles, and even reptile inspired art from a large group of reptile enthusiasts. If you don’t want to sign up for a deviantart account, you’ll still be able to browse through the club photos, but if you do, then you can choose to join the club and contribute yourself! It’s a great way to gain exposure for your photography to a group of people interested in the same topic as you!
