TIM TYTLE LIZARDS

Larry grew up catching frogs, tadpoles, larval Salamanders, turtles, etc. in a small Iowa farming community. One particular summer he used a seining net to catch larval Tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrina) in a temporary water hole at the edge of his home town. Another summer evening he fed lightning bugs to newly morphed Leopard frogs and watched with fascination as the frogs lit up... Larry acquired his first geckos during his Freshman year at Iowa State University. It was a pair of African Fat-tailed Geckos. They are still his favorite species to work with. At one time he had a private collection of 250+ geckos. After graduating from Iowa State University with a BS in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology, he accepted a position in 1995 at the San Antonio Zoo in the Reptile department. He stayed at the zoo for 1.5 years and was offered a job managing Tim Tytle Lizards in the private sector. Larry started working for Tim in late January of 1997. Larry is in his 16th year working for Tim..
