New here!!

Hi everyone!! I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jeremy and I'm from Alabama. I've had a couple of snakes in the past but was immature and un-knowledged in their care and so I gave them back to the pet shop I got them from. I am looking into getting and possibly raising BP's sometime in the future. I absolutely love them!!! I am really looking forward to all that this will entail. I'm also really glad that I found this website because it seems to be vastly informative!!

welcome

This is a very nice community and has been a vast source of information for me. :D I started off with just one, and already I'm at two - looking at getting two more. Make sure to check out the caresheet on this site. Also, set up your cage in advance of snake arrival and work out kinks in the enviroment beforehand. It makes for a happier snake! Good luck and if you have any questions - ask away!!

Thanks!! I'll be sure to do that!! I'm actually scouting around for supplies and pricing things now. I have a few empty aquariums at home that I may use, although I'd prefer one of those stackable vivarium things from someplace like Animal Plastics. Most everything else though, I'll have to get.

Welcome to the forum Jeremy. Like Christie said this place has been, and continues to be, a huge source of good information especially for new owners. We also set up our enclosure ahead of time (we use a Sterlite tub from Walmart) and got the "bugs" worked out. Best advice we got was to put the new snake in a quiet area of the house, put water in and the hides and just leave the snake be for a week or two before handling or attempting to feed it. It's very very hard to not handle your new snake but it's so important to let them settle in quietly.

The folks here are wonderful about answering questions so please feel free. If they can survive my million and one questions, they can survive anyone. LOL

Thanks Jo and Ray! Like you both have said, from what I see this place is full of people who are more than willing to help out. It really seems like a blast! As a matter of fact I can't wait to get time to get back on!! I guess it's a good thing I work at a job where I do basically nothing, cuz I can stay on here almost the whole time!!

Hey I didn't see this thread before.. lol, well here's a formal 'welcome'.

I wish I could play around at herp sites at my job.

Thanks!! :)

Yeah, it's pretty nice to be able to play around on here so much...

The only thing is that working 3rd + having nothing to do = me very sleepy

So.... If I make no sense once in a while I'm probably either sleep deprived, or half-asleep.

welcome to the site. glad to have ya :)!
