Hello all!!
I have been snooping around on a few topics here so I figure its only right that I be cordial and intro myself...(thats the first time that I have used the word cordial in 2010...dont even know if its in the right context...but hey, Im trying to impress here...LOL:D!!)...anyhow, I am orginally from Ohio but since joining the Marine Corps...I have lived in California and now I am in Arizona. While in Cali, I owned a RTB for approx 9 years and a Western Diamondback Rattler that I caught on my back patio. I housed them seperatly and it was very interesting at feeding time to watch...my kids I and I learned alot by watching!! Eventually the RTB passed away while I was in Kuwait and the Rattler was turned loose back to its home when I got ordered to Az.
Now...years later, I am interested in setting things up for a BP or two (maybe). Things are a bit different though for me in Az. My garage will be my new snake/work out room and I am more worried about keeping the room cool than I am about heating. Temps normally get in the 100's out there in the summer time...so I gotta figure a way to keep things cooler. Right now, the only thing that I can think to do is install a portable A/C unit. If that works...then I will go ahead with plans to build a terrarium and then go BP shopping!
Right now I am deployed so I am brainstorming a bunch of ideas...I look forward to the education here!!
