Nah...people seem far more interested in spending their money on the real deal instead of a picture...:D They just clutter up the walls of my snake room...:rolleyes:

I can dig it, nothing wrong with a little man crush every now an again. Lol ;)

Thanks ChrisS- We might just end up being law-breakers.. My husband is a libertarian and is all for law nullification.. Keeping "contra chickens" would probably be right up our ally. :D Now, we only have to find a house with a huge privacy fenced backyard AND a basement for the snakes...

Also, sho220- Those are great looking paintings! I went to art school (BFA) and teach art now. I've never done any snake themed paintings though... I might just have to give that a try. Good job on the reflections.

and if you become one of my clients........................

Sho- I went to University of Montevallo (in Alabama) it s a public liberal arts university but has a great art department.. We have an anagama kiln and the largest printing (litho) press in the state. I enjoyed art school but it was tough. I ended up staying and getting my M.ed so that I could teach. I looked at SCAD, but it was waaaay too expensive for me.

Again, great paintings, and I love to see another art person on the forums :)

I game so hard.....power lifting, comic book nerd, and I have a hobby of keeping these really awesome things called my kids.

In the interest of updating the list of hobbies I mentioned here, this is my current time suck of a hobby. Everyone saw 'aww'. Everyone also appreciate how relaxing and nondemanding reptiles are.

I have two very money intensive hobbies. Ponies and snakes. :P

Tournament paintball for me. Funnest thing i have ever done and will continue to do until im much older!!

http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...psb3ca2c73.jpg

Photography and dogs are really my two main hobbies, but much more so dogs. I compete in/train for several different sports with my kiddos as well as board and train dogs on occasion.

My main sport of focus is Mondioring (bitesport) but my current dog doesn't have the temperament for really intense bitework, he enjoys it doing it with people he knows though. So I'm planning on getting a working line German Shepherd here shortly to pursue the sport further with. So for Dakota, we mainly do Splash Dogs (dock jumping) since there's quite a few competitions for it up here. He's been the pro-divisional vertical winner at the national championships for the last two years. : )

His personal bests are: 23'1 in distance, and 6'8 in height.

We do some more sports as well, but I'll try not to drown you guys in pictures/videos unless you want me to. ^^"

My other hobbies include:



EATING! (Not making, because I can't cook. Although on occasion I bake, but this was from a restaurant. And it was magnificent. A belated birthday dinner after I had food poisoning on my actual birthday this past year).

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...c9eb370ffdd349




Advocating for sexual health + sexual health education, as well as an LGBTQ ally :)
I couldn't find a picture for this, so I just put a picture of a book I am currently reading... I also like to read. When I'm not swamped with school readings and papers. I am entering my 4th and final year, getting an Honours Arts degree in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family studies - with a focus on sexuality, no wonder. I am also a volunteer with a very popular Canadian sexual health organization (cannot name names) and will be starting a double practicum work term with a local HIV/AIDS committee in town as well!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...98114038_n.jpg




And last but certainly not least, spending time with my wonderful partner AND being at my beloved camp, where I practically grew up. I should also mention my best friend (who shares the same first name as me, oddly enough) is not pictured here, but it's where we met when we were in diapers and have since been keeping a long distance friendship for... 19ish years. We've never lived in the same province before, let alone town! But we see each other at camp every summer. Our cabins are almost next to each other. :)

Some hobbies of mine.

Thanks for looking/reading (I know it was a lot)! :gj:

You're extremely beautiful if you don't mind me saying [emoji4]

My other "hobby" is eating right & staying motivated to exercise 4 or 5 days of the week.
As a former weight watchers leader & 10 year lifetime member it's still a struggle for me sometimes.
It's not really a hobby but it's an important part of my daily life. Nothing better than feeling HEALTHY & Fit.

My new hobby, stamp collecting.

It's a RIA 1911 tactical model 70 in .45 acp

My other hobbies are Taxidermy (though sort of a part time job for me)

http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...kinnedFawx.png


Drawing

http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...Fox/sketch.png

And Photography

http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...icoFox/029.png

My primary hobby outside of snakes (and caring for my other animals) is classical music, as I play viola with a local community orchestra... I also play violin, piano, oboe, english horn, alto recorder, and a tiny bit of guitar & clarinet. Here's a picture of my old viola, which was made in Germany in the 1850's - gorgeous instrument, but I currently have it on consignment with a local shop, since it's no longer suitable for my needs. I have a newer viola now, which is cheaper and not nearly as pretty, but does what I need it to do!

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...80/Viola-1.jpg

I play flag football on the weekends.
dabble in dodgeball a bit in the offseasons
I make hip hop music and currently have recorded 2 albums and have done 15+ live shows
I used to throw a lot of money towards my saltwater aquarium addiction until me and my girlfriend moved in together.
I love houseplants.
I used to draw but not too much anymore
cut hair
I have an engineers mind and constantly draw up blueprints in my head of things to build/create. if money wasn't an issue my apt would be full of all kinds of projects. its not really a hobby but its on the brink of becoming one should I ever get a bigger place with room to work

Another "hobby" of mine would be exploring San Francisco and the rest of California/NV with my dog...

Also traveling outside of California & the US (without my dog), photography, ice skating, gaming, and other stuff - but I won't bore you with any more pictures. ;)

Other hobbies hmmm...... I drink beer http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/6ynagysa.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/ehezy6up.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/19/aty5e9yd.jpg

Where to start!!!
My very favorite hobby I have, is Plushing!!! I mostly focus on ponies...but I've done a few pokemon as well...

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psqipdbz8v.jpg

and my most recent, who is unfinished...
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...pssqwzvlcg.jpg

And then I'm a gamer/geek/nerd/whatever you want to call it. Mostly play pokemon and Monster hunter, but I also enjoy Skyrim and other games. Here's my lootcrate.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...pszokeyujv.jpg

I also keep a chinchilla!! This is Appa =D

http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2df809f7.jpg

It's growing :P

Probably my biggest hobby other than reptiles is fashion. This might seem odd but I wear a particularly frilly Japanese street fashion. This is a picture taken of me recently in a new dress :) It's a bit of a toned down casual outfit but I really like it.
https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/...60&oe=54EF4314

I also like to make costumes... The latest one I've been working on is Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon 2. Lots of leather to play with! Can't wait to get to work making that armour.

I also play a few instruments, and I like to bake, cook and occasionally draw and sculpt things. I'm a bit of a gamer, when I have the time, as well. If anyone has any game recommendations for 3DS, let me know! Oh, and any good TV series. My favourite at the moment is Elementary <3

My other addiction.... tattoos. Leg is mostly covered. Cant wait to get it finished and start working g on the other

And reading! :)

I dont haven any pictures, but my hobbies are Taekwondo, and geocaching, as well as caring for my one and only ball python.

I have lots of hobbies, but not many I have photos for... I do crafty things. Knit, dabbling leatherwork, spin up yarn. My main hobby right now is making chainmaille, though I really mostly focus on jewelry, here's a picture of my latest thing, a dreamcatcher:
http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps172fd07a.jpg


I have a little bird I take care of - she may be small but she means a lot to me!
http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps4064cb00.jpg

Also a horse:
http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps9da2cc31.jpg

I also read a ton (mostly fantasy) and am trying to write a novel. I'd REALLY love to take up horse mounted archery, but I can't eek out the pennies for the bow I want, so that's been on the back burner for years. And hopefully Saturday, will have my first ball python. :) And gardening. I have too many plants in my house.

Very cool to see the other things people are passionate about! One of my biggest hobbies is custom/high-end knife collecting. Way too many pictures to post but here's just a few:

All these photos could also be examples of another of my hobbies which is photography...mostly do it for fun but also do freelance work. Besides knives I also collect watches:

Ahh you and me both! I love a European Perch, earlier this season I caught my biggest at 1.5lbs. I live 2 minute drive from the Thames and that is full of Pike, Carp and Perch.

I love saltwater fishing more. Redfish and shark are my favorites to catch and eat.

Nice :) I've only been sea fishing once, didn't catch. My Grandad used to own a pretty big boat and would catch Dogfish etc often.

I have a 21ft boat that desperately needs to feel the water beneath it again...lol

My biggest non ball python related hobby is reading. Over time I have amassed a huge collection of books. My to read list is probably sitting at about 50 books, maybe a little more, and I have two more that I ordered in the mail todayXD

I like your style!

I love beer too, but I didn't think it was a hobby.... More like something you just do, like breathing...hahaha

I love beer too. I love it so much i make my own. That is my other hobby. Hombrewing beer. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...609550fd19.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...8146c46469.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...81ee254312.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...82dd431efe.jpg

For me its barbecue. Ive won a few contests with my brisket. Bowhunting. Playing guitar. Texas Hold'em. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Brisket and beer mmmmmmm

My other hobbies are diesel trucks.(Cummins)!! This is my pullin machine. I have done a few mods including larger turbo, 5" exhaust with stacks. Bully Dog tuner, cold air intake, just to name a few. I operate heavy equipment so I also enjoy that. And of course my koi and my little pond.

Going to the gym and training. I've figured that if I have to be in this prison, my god I'm going to get super fit!

Right now I'm training really hard so I can do a long-distance biking trip when I get home!
