New to the Site, Hi All

[Joey'D]

Just wanted to stop by and say hello.
i recently joined the site, have been snooping around, and thought i would pop my head and say hello to all.

I have only been into snake keeping for less than a year now, got my first Ball in Dec.'08 to be exact, and im in love

I purchased a Pastel Ball from a breeder in Toronto i found through a fish keeping site i am part of as well (i keep Piranha and other types of fish) and i will be making a trip there again to purchase a female lesser hopefully the week of the 12th of dec.
I was hoping to grab a spider, but he has none left, and im a man of business so i stick what what i like and good service.

the hatch date of my Pastel (Vuitton is his name BTW) is Aug.16th of '08 i believe will confirm when i pick up the female, and he weighs in at about 918Grams and is about 42" long.
he is currently in a 36x12x18 and i will be moving him to a 48x18x24 within the next few weeks.
i know his weight and length as i just took him to the vet this past monday as i thought he was sick.
Turns out he was being grumpy, and i lost a weekends sleep over it to find out as per the Vet "he is extremely healthy and a marvelous looking snake"
It was the best 80$ i have ever spent, to hear all is fine and go get some sleep.

i digress, i would love to post some pics, but it appears i cant attach anything... hopefully that isnt a permanent fixture?.....
Thanks for your time, and look forward to sharing stories and info with you all

Hi,

Here's a "how to post pics" post. We do not use the attatchment system on here but bbcode ( er I think - not the tech guy )

Well the first thing is to get them hosted somewhere online.

You can put them in your gallery here - this tutorial is a bit old but the basic procedure is the same I think.

And here is another one in video form that might also help.

You can also use a site like http://photobucket.com/

They should also have tutorials to help you.

If you still have trouble just ask any member of staff and we will do our best to get you sorted.
