Gecko Journey - My life with 80+ species of geckos
|
The guest speaker at our March general meeting will be Julie Bergman.
Julie is the president and lifetime member of the
Global Gecko Association (GGA), and is a member of the
Northern California Herpetological Society (NCHS).
She has authored a number of books and articles for major herp magazines, and has even been featured on
local television programs on Good Day Sacramento on KCRA Channel 3 News, and
California Heartland on PBS.
Ms. Bergman is a very successful gecko breeder, and is the owner of
The Gecko Ranch in Woodland, CA.
Gecko Ranch geckos have found homes at several zoos, including the Dallas-Fort Worth Zoo,
the New York Hall of Science, and the Palm Springs Living Desert Museum. One of Julie's favorite geckos
are the bright green giant day geckos, Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis.
At our meeting Julie will discuss breeding and husbandry of geckos, and how she got to where she is.
