Hello all you like-minded herp-lovers out there! I have lurked this forum for months, ever since I decided to dive into this little "hobby." My name is Solomon, and I turned 30 last year, so around New Year's, I decided I needed a new hobby/pet to keep me more level-headed (my 20's were a bit, um, "extreme"). Tons of research later, I determined that a BP would be the perfect companion, being that my landlord won't allow dogs & cats without a fee. Little did I know that I would fall head-over-heels for these amazing animals. In late January, I was lucky enough to "rescue" a very healthy, unsexed normal from a soldier on craigslist who was headed overseas. By lucky, I mean I wouldn't do it again, knowing what I know now. Everyone here has been so helpful and informative to the lurkers like me, and before long I had the perfect setup for my little dude, affectionately named Harlan. Of course the setup has evolved a bit, and now that I'm firmly entrenched in this hobby and plan on more snakes, I've just purchased a permanent home for my buddy. An Animal Plastics T-8 is being shipped to me sometime next week! I couldn't be more excited to provide Harlan with a spacious forever-home with all of its needs met. Glass tanks just don't cut it, from what I've now learned. Too many variables in temps & humidity for my liking. I will post plenty of pictures in the days ahead, and I plan on being a more regular contributor to this great forum. Until then, I just figured it was certainly time to say HELLO! Thanks for your collective intelligence, it is truly invaluable.
