    Hiya

    Hiya everyone.
    Thought I'd make a quick post introducing myself. I'm Dibzy, 29 in the northern area of the uk (up around Newcastle way) but originally from London.
    I signed up around a week ago looking for help around heating for my viv and royal. I've managed to sort the issue now (I hope) and just wanted to check my temps were good. ( cool end sits between n 24+25c and got end sits between 31+32.6c max. I hope these are ok for my royal)
    I kept snakes years ago (11+ yrs ago) and got ditachted from it all after losing a much loved rosey boa who had been given to us due to my grandad dying. My grampi had her since she was a hatchling way before I was even born and after losing her, I came out of the hobbies and sold the remaining reps I had much now to my regret.
    My plan is to slowly get myself back into to things again and while I don't plan to have anywhere near the amount I had before (43 snakes, 17 lizards, scorpions, spiders.. Yes.. We had a huge house!!) I plan to get my self a decent collection of 5/6 snakes over time.. Over a relatively long time...
    Anyway. Nice to meet you all and I hope your getting back to routine slowly!!
    Have a good day.

    Wow! I'm jealous. If only my place was big enough. I only have room for four foot tank and unless I stack one on top... I have no room.

    More isn't always "better"...the extra work, costs & responsibility becomes "work" eventually & then "burn-out". Having just one, or a few, that you really enjoy is better, IMO. (been there, had way too many in the past) Just keep it fun...
