    Hey everyone..
    As a kid I was a big snake lover. I had a few boa's, pythons etc.
    finally after many years and a child later.. I got myself 2 baby ball pythons!
    I have a nice looking female and a beautiful pastel male. I'm just so excited to be a snake owner again, especially of the royal python. They are very cool snakes and extremely polite for a reptile! I think they are the ultimate pet.
    Anyways.. I remember back when a ball python was just a ball python and were almost considered boring. NOW.. its so different.. all different kinds and I'm lost. Herps? Have no idea what that terminology means! I'm stuck in the past when it comes to these snakes and some of my knownlegde is a little rusty to say the least. I'm happy to be on this bored though and I'm hoping everyone is cool. So I wanted to say hi and if anyone wants to drop me knowledge... I'm like a sponge and I love to soak it all in!.. Joey is the real name.. hiya everyone!

    Hi Joey,

    I, like you was out of snakes for years. Now that I'm old as the hills I decided to get me a collection going again. Having a great time of it too. There are a lot of people with much more knowledgable than me online but I'll help when I can. Just wanted to say welcome aboard.

    :D :welcome:

    Welcome. Herp is a shortened form of herpetology, which is the branch of zoology that deals with reptiles and amphibians.

    Here are a couple links that may help you out on terminology as well...

    Welcome to the Club! Or should I say back to the club, we have repainted and changed the curtains but otherwise we still all love snakes so look around and ask whenever you have questions.
