Hello from NW Fl Panhandle

[Railrider1920]

Just wanted to say hello. I live in the NW panhandle area of Fla, AKA, redneck riviera, lower Alabama....... Anyone else here from this general area? Gulf coast area?

I used to have a few snakes probably 10 or so years ago. My wife mentioned wanting to get another Brazilian rainbow boa. I said sure why not. So now its research time again. My memory isnt what it used to be,

Welcome to Ssnakess! You've come to the right place :D

[Albert Clark]

Welcome to the forum and i'm glad you survived Hurricaine Matthew.

IF you're looking for BRB, then the person you want to contact is Cliff from Living Gems. He posts here under the name Snakesitter. His animals are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Here's a link to his latest posting of his latest litter. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/epicrates/113325-more-rainbow-babies.html

welcome! glad you survived the big storm !

[Railrider1920]

Thanks for the welcome. I have spoken to Cliff. I just got done emailing him a couple of questions about some of his snakes.

I am actually in the northwest panhandle of Florida. Nowhere near the storm. It sure was a nasty one though.

[savvylr]

Welcome! I live in this area as well, about thirty minutes outside of Pensacola. New to the forum too!

Welcome to ssnakess!
I have a BRB, and they are awesome. Great choice!!

[macandchz]

where does the railrider come from? are you a train buff?

[Railrider1920]

Lol, no not a buff. I work for the railroad. Amtrak, trains 19 and 20, the Crescent.

[JellyBean]

Amtrak!
My Brazilian Rainbow Boa, "Bean", came home with me from Florida on the Amtrak! :)

(Question, where do you actually get on the train from the panhandle?)

[Railrider1920]

savvylr, Blackwater area? Pretty good herping out there.

JellyBean, I actually read your story before I signed up. Glad that nobody found out. Someone actually brought a big boa on board once, in one of the private rooms. The attendant went in there to do something and saw it. He freaked out bad. Another time I met a guy that had brought two rattlesnakes from texas in a military style duffle bag.

I actually work out of New Orleans, up to NY and then back to New Orleans. We make stops in Greenville and Spartinburg SC.

[JellyBean]

Eek! I wouldn't have the nerve to blatantly defy the rules that bad... I just had to get my 26g, unplanned package home (blush).

I've been on your train before, from Greenville :)
And I love New Orleans, one of my most frequented visits is to Jazzfest for the past 30 yrs or so!

[macandchz]

i have been on the Crescent. my husband and i went all around the country by rail. it took us 6 days. we only stopped to change trains. i'd do it tomorrow if i had the chance!

[Railrider1920]

Were you in the sleepers by chance? If you were, do you remember who the attendant was?

[JellyBean]

:shocked: OMG that's funny.
I would love to meet you, but I'll have to check my own bags before I let my secret out! :blink:

Welcome! I'm over in Louisiana, but I spend my fair share of weekends in Pensacola to go to the beach and go herping.
