New Here

Hi Everybody,

I'm new to this forum, but not to ball pythons or reptiles in general. I'm 25 years old and currently living in Maryland. I'm mostly into turtles, but the last 2 years has seen a major increase in my snake collection.

My current Ball Python collection is:
1.0 Albino
0.1 Het Albino
1.0 Pastel
0.1 Mojave
0.1 Het Pied
0.1 Pinstripe
0.1 Normal
and I'm adding 0.2 Pastel and 0.1 Black Pastel very soon.

I also have several groups of turtles that I'm working with, most notably Narrow Bridged Musk Turtles (Claudius angustatus).

Here's a few pictures:

Welcome to BP Net, you will find lots of critter lovers here. Great pics, are those turtles snappy? Looks like they are ready to tag someone, lol.

Hey what's up. welcome to BP.net. You have a nice collection. I like your turtles, and your ball pythons as well.

Thanks. They are a little crazy. They usually just keep their mouths open like that when you handle them, but every once in a while they will snap out. I've almost been bit a few times, holding them by the back of the shell. Awesome species, but pretty rare. I can count the number of breeders on one hand.

Hey Jeff,

Nice to see you on here. Is there any Claudius breeders other than Brad Morris? What dates are you going to Virginia Beach?
