Thought I'd better introduce myself as things seem to be a bit shaky .

So glad you finally decided to put pics up here!!! They are lovely!!! The Snow Boa was something I hadn't seen before. And that Pueblan is super neat, what a color mix. But I think my fav so far is the Burm. Wow. I want one of those... The full size ones are pretty big, but that dwarf is gorgeous and a good size...

Thank you for those kind words - everyone has been really nice about them as you can see

I will try and post the others up at some stage .

As regards the Snow Boa he really is spectacular looking .. I love the kind of motley mix of brilliant white and vibrant yellow tones .. He was the totally white as a hatchling and the brightest , whitest the breeder had ever seen ..... Apparently the Snows all start off totally white and the yellow comes as they age . I prefer it myself as ALL white snakes look rather washed out and bland to my mind .
In Royal / Ball pythons the all white BEL ones do nothing for me at all but I LOVE the Albinos and Pieds !!

Just a matter of taste I guess .

Nice looking collection! On a side note did I read somewhere that you are in Ireland?

My other obsessions ( still can't edit ) ..... All types of Music , football / soccer , Movies and TV , MotoGP and frequenting forums .

Did I mention I'm an Aspie ( Aspergers ) plus I'm obsessive

I too have seen some people here lose their mind over nothing -simple questions or simple opinions- and I can't help but wonder if they've ever had to communicate with another human outside of the internet. It's always amazing to see a person who considers themselves an adult act like a 5 year old who had their candy taken away. There are pathetic humans everywhere and they love frequenting online forums, apparently they love to let their inner idiot shine a lot.

Yes, you have said so many times.......

Hey .. I'm getting the distinct feeling of "unwelcomeness" in this forum for some reason ... Something I've NEVER come across in all my years of frequenting forums .

I've had a few 'biting' comments thrown my way since I ventured in here a few weeks ago and I really don't understand what the issue is .... I've admitted MANY times in here that I'm not an expert on anything but I have had many years of successful snake keeping .... I currently own 17 snakes of different types and in all my time I've never had a snake die on me . I had one with an RI many years ago and was lucky enough to be able to cure it myself by nebulising F10 for a couple of weeks.

Any advice I have suggested / posted has either been from my experiences or my friends .

Just think you need to cut the new guys a bit of slack .... I' m a real nice guy

Currently have .

1 Snow Boa - 7' adult - the featured Snow Boa in John Berry's Designer Boa Morphs .
1 Dwarf Hypo Burmese Python
2 HC Albino Royal Pythons ( unrelated pair )
1 Pastel Royal Python
1 Rhino- nosed rat snake
1 Red Mountain Bamboo rat snake.
I Imperial Pueblan Hybrid ( King x Milk)
1 Amel Stripe aduit Corn snake
1 Banded Cali King
1 Albino Striped Cali King
1 Desert King
4 Garter snakes ( I Melanistic 'Black' and 3 Albino Chequered Garters)


I have Aspergers ( form of autism ) and have worked in education for 19 years helping autistic teenagers to survive the torture of secondary / high school .

I'm a real nice guy ..honestly !!

Please excuse my obsessiveness any poor spelling / grammar ....it comes with Aspergers , sadly .

Honestly, people on this forum can be jerks, especially to newbies. Being a newbie is a good thing in my opinion, I love seeing new people on the forum searching for answers and information. Some of the more veteran owners think they know it all and know EXACTLY how a snake should be cared for, when there is actually a bit of leeway. What works best for you works best for you. There are some things that need to be avoided for your snakes safety, but as far as everything else goes, there is no ONE way to do anything.
