    Newbie here

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Krystle and I'm fairly new to keeping snakes. My husband and I purchased our first snake in April of last year. Since then, it's become an addiction and a hobby of sorts that we can enjoy together. We currently have 7 snakes, 2 gargoyle geckos and a dog. I only expect this collection to grow over the next year. We are currently located in San Diego and hope to be living back on the east coast by next summer. I'm looking forward to gaining a lot of new information from this board!

    If you need help with anything just ask and we will try and help - staff names are in red or green in the userlist but the regular members are a darned helpful bunch too.

    Enjoy your stay.

    Re: Newbie here

    Thanks for such a warm welcome guys! My husband is going to be deploying soon leaving me in charge of the snakes, I'm glad I have a place I can come for advice or insight if I have any issues while he's gone. Here are some pics for you guys.

    This is "The Precious" our female pastel

    And this is Caesar, the male pastel. I love the "Y" on the back of his neck and the little twinkling star spot on his back. (It's towards the top left of the picture)

    We also have a female Spider that we picked up at the Pomona show last weekend but she's still adjusting, I'll have some pics of her soon.
