Introduction[fricon check it out ok]

[CyberGhost]

Okay I thought that a good post would be one in which everybody told their names[not their whole names if they dont want] and a little about themselves. That way everyone would know everyone else on a more personal level. I think this would be good for the site. Make it alot more friendleir as if its not alredy but I still think its a good idea so everyone, plz whats your names and what some intresting facts about your life.

[CyberGhost]

Okay well I forgot to say something about my self. My name is Rannel its russian and pronounced rah-nail. I am 16 and live in wetsren texas. I am Wiccan and for some reason everyone I meet seems to think that is the most intresting thing about me.

[Rebecca]

I'm Rebecca. 21 I live in Dawson Creek B.C. Am also kind of Wiccan, just starting to get into it. Nothing fancy bout me but there ya go ;)

[RachelS.]

Alright, if my profile doesn't explain enough ;)... My name is Rachel Spina. I live in DFW, Texas if you haven't already noticed. I keep 18 pets, 14 of which are herps and 1 that is a tarantula. I am really into Goth style clothing, but my parents won't let me wear or buy any of it and I dont' have the money for it because of all my pets, lol. My family is Christian, but I am more of an Athiest.
Ummm what else? lol I think that's all I can think of for now :).

Okay I'm adding a descripton of myself:

I am 5'2" and 100 pounds. I have light/golden brunette hair that gets really light during summer, and I have big brown eyes that everyone seems to love (but I hate and I wish I had blue eyes). I sometimes wear ocean blue colored contacts... I like them they grab attention.

I have been keeping reptiles since I was 5, an iguana being my first. But it sadly died because I was given terrible husbandary info. I have also been catching reptiles since I was 2 :). I love to go herping, and I sometimes go with some of the guys that post on this site.

[HeatherRose]

dumdidumdidum......

My name is Heather, I'm from Ottawa, Canada....I love all animals, expecially herps and horses (I used to show jump).

I'm Pagan, and into sort-of gothy clothes and piercings and that.

Not much else interesting about me....except I'm cuter than Rachel ;) and can use chopsticks :D

Oh yes! I'm friends with Kate, that's officially the coolest thing about me :D

[KrokadilyanGuy3]

Um.. My name is Zane Neher I live in the good 'ol Oklahoma.
I am a Christian and uh, my dress style I guess ranges from "Prep" and "Skater" I use to be into the whole peircings and tatoos, but since I was to young at the time so I drew body art on me and friends with sharpees. I keep 18 crocodilians and a bunch of native OK. turtles. I kept alot of snakes venomous and not but I will be moving in a few so I had to sacrifice a few animals but will be getting back into them. I also like long walks in on a moonlit beach with a cocacola in my hands and the wet, rough sand digging into the souls of my feet. I like to count stars right before I drift intoagental sleep and.. Heh

And that's me.
Xain

[SerpentLust]

Woo Hoo! I like talking about myself! *giggles*

Alright, my name is Jennifer Lestage, I'm 18 years old and have always adored all animals. Snakes have ALWAYS been my favourite.

I have two herps right now. I got my first snake Montey three years ago. And just got my second one yesterday, whom, after seeing her attitude, I've decided to name "Chaos".

I've gone through many different religious searches. Wiccan, Witta, Paganism, Catholicism, etc. After being a Pagan got about 3 years I have just decided that my profound love of nature and animals is all the spirituality I need and it doesn't need any label.

Um I live in North Bay, Ontario. Which is about 2.5 hours away from Sudbury. I love handling wild animals (if you look at my yahoo profile, you'll see me with the pigeons ;) profiles.yahoo.com/hecates_shadow and aside from my two snakes, I have a cat named Bazoo.

Anyways, I should shut up now. I have a boyfriend and I'm very narcissistic meaning I love looking in the mirror, I'm happy with who I am and the only thing I'd change about myself would be to own more animals.

Okay over 35 ppl have veiwed this and none of them have found the time to introduce themselves, I think that is sorta sadd.

Been with the same guy for over 4 years and we're still going strong. I'm from Connecticut and I find it funny how many people from the states have no idea where that is. Anyway there is so much more but I'm rambling now...

[Tim and Julie B]

Well crap I hate talking about myself. Julie and I have been married for almost a year (June 7). We have been together for eight years, since we were 19. We were neighbors. Ya ya girl next door. I own lots of reps. I got into it when I was thirteen. Religion? I guess I am not a buddiest but I study the Zen teachings. Hobbies.........well I well race anything that has wheels. I love mountain biking (no not the relaxed trail in the park), long boarding, basketball, soccer etc. Used to be a pretty good artist. Love classic cars. Got tattoos but no piercings thanks...except my ears. I live in Kelowna BC. Almost to hot. If you have never been here you should come for vacation and see this part of British Columbia Canada......seriously if you are from the states, come to BC you will love it. No it is not cold, there is no snow and I have never seen a polar bear or an igloo. Don't laugh, those were comman questions whenever I was in California visiting family. That's about it. Oh yeah two dogs, a rotti and a pitti, Dakota and Bink. Both pound puppies. Two cats Jones and Otis. Also I have a large fish tank (love fish). :DTim

[Silklady]

Hello< I guess I can tell you more of me here, although I just posted recently in the newcomers forum... My name is Amber. I am a classical vocalist and have been studying singing for more thatn ten years. I teach both voice and piano. I also play guitar and flute. I love Jazz, Classical, and I am into ballet. (besides the fact I am the biggest dancer in my class, everyone else is anorexic) I love golfing, paintball, yoga, and reading. ( this sounds like a dating agency advertisment, but sorry i am taken!) I have been through religions, Protestant(grew up on it) Buddism, Wicca, but what I realized for myself, through study and hands on testing, is that all the religions in the world are all connected. They all strive for the same thing, "stewardship" tending to the herps and the blessings of the world. Of course they go deeper then that, but that is another discussion. I am not religious. I disapprove of religion for myself. My choice is to be spiritual, and I believe In Jesus, I am a Christian without being religious. I also like piercings. I have 12. I can't afford a tatoo because all my money goes to my herps, and buying more music. there, now you know about me!
Just a quick p.s. I think it is really neat that everyone is posting their "religion". Respect to all of you. Everyone has their own "truth" and what is right for them, never be afraid to stick up for what you believe in. blessings, Silklady

[Mardy]

I'm 30, married and father of a 2 year old little girl. Very very lucky I am, being a stay home dad and animal breeder. We live on a farm north of Canada's capital Ottawa. I'm getting addicted to gardening and just love layed back country life.

I like offroading (specially when katey lets me drive her truck) and relaxing in the sun.

[MAN OF STEEL]

ok, dont fall asleep now... my name is justin and i am 21 years old. i am puerto rican and from las vegas, nevada. right now
i live in san clemente, california because i am a machine gunner in the marine corps. i got the nick name "superman" in high school
because i was only 5'6" and weighed 210 lbs. all i did in high school was work out and eat. then wrestling season my senior year i had to cut weight to wrestle 152 pounds(you do the math)
if i wrestled at the weight i was i would have got my @$$ kicked.
at that weight the guys are so much bigger than me. i thought it was better to wrestle guys my height.
so after that stunt every body always called me superman(MAN OF STEEL). what else? i have been to japan, okinawa, australia, east timor, the phillipines, palau, guam, thailand, korea and i think thats about it. oh yeah, kuwait and iraq too. i like to fish, wrestle obviously, off road, play golf, play xbox, work out, tend to my 8 snakes
(i used to have14 snakes untill my wife sold a few when i was in combat). i love to get drunk and cook outside on my grill.
i love to wear suits, slacks and dress shirts, but when i am sitting at home i just wear jeans a white t-shirt and a hat.
every one talks s*** on me about this, but i like to roller blade.
i never really got into skate boarding. oh, and i am catholic.
i can go on forever, but all of you are probably asleep and drooling all over your key board. thanks for your time!

[fateamber]

I'm not sure which is my favorite but i like Lestat and Armand, poor claudia! I liked Jesse aswell.

[CyberGhost]

[CyberGhost]

Oh, yes I can tell very much so. But I still think your kool!!!

[Linds]

I'll play too :) My name is as reads in my sig below. As of present I am a 5'7", 104 lb female with green eyes and red/brown hair that has been living on this planet for 22 years. I am huge into body mods, and just can't seem to get enough. Now that I am finally full up to capacity for herps in my room, I can put that much more money into more mods :) I aquired my first herp when I was 4 years old. She is still with me today. I'm also a rally racing fan. I finished high school via adult education because I was a little bada$$ growing up, and am currently taking a 2 year veterinary technician course. Up until last week I was employed at Kris' Reptiles and Travelling Exotics Roadshow, but they are closing down shop to open a zoo, which I won't be working at until next March, so I am also looking for something to do in the meantime. Religion has never agreed with me, and I have never agreed with it, even as a very young kid (my parents tried to get me to go to church but everytime I went I would throw up :p). I love food... I am the queen of making homemade soups and salads... I can sit down and easily put away a tub of icing, a bag of marshmallows, a few pounds of fudge, or hell......combine em all! Anyone can tell you I'm a sucker for the bottle as well. I don't really like ice cream, but I do like sundaes (just as long as I can't find the ice cream in it I'm good :p). I listen to all sorts of music... everything from Mindless Self-Indulgence to Motzart. To finish... I have little self-control but harbour a strong will.

[CyberGhost]

A lot of people were mentioning 'body modifications'. Well, I have one tattoo (of an elephant on my left ankle, paid for and drawn by my ex-bf in P.R.), I used to have my eyebrow pierced, but the damn thing fell out while I was changing my shirt! Currently: one tongue piercing and 5 holes in my ears. Not sure why... the only earrings I wear are my 'Horny Horned Lizards' (yes, they depict Horned Lizards mating) that I got from the NM State Fair!

I would like to get more tatts though... I want the pic I used for my avatar tattooed on my arm. That gecko meant so much to me!

Well that's all for now... I'll post again when I come back! (J/K) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CyberGhost]

I just meant that theres alot more people on this site that have viewed this and not replied. I think they should and they know who they are!!!

[scorpman]

hi my names mark i live in pa. i have had lizzards most of my life. going on 37 yr old. married, 3 kids. my list of current friends are at the bottom i also have fish, 2 dogs. the scorpions are my newest addition. my wife, dawn, is not into the inverts but loves reptile, all but snakes,but she is getting more into the whole herp thing as i get more and she learns more we like outdoor type activites, parties with freinds ,meeting new people and more . i am into science fiction movies (yes i am a trekie)

[Silklady]

Oh yah, i love ROBERTJODAN WOT is my favorite series. My favorite food is breakfast, eggs n'cheese, corn, and a toasted bun with cream cheese (meh, to each their own) My favorite movie are Labyrinth and The dark crystal. and don't tell anyone, but I am proud to say that Silkie is my boyfriend, eventhough he won't admit it (lol)and I like the way he makes popcorn.

[Edwin]

My name's Edwin, and I consult on technology and operations research. Currently studying my MBA at York during the evenings, hopefully I will be done soon, as I want my life back! I am a fantasy and horror buff (King, Feist, Goodkind etc.), like herps (obviously ;) ) and enjoy tinkering with computers. I am mainly into boids, especially but since joining the site, I now have a leopard gecko and a pair of ratsnakes.

I enjoy eating spicy foods, mostly listen to rock/metal/alternative music, and despise doing dishes.

[silkie]

Je ma pelle Rob. I am from Mississauga Ontario, and my occupations involve growing and selling bugs, teaching music lessons, spending quality time with my sweet heart, silklady aka Amber and being the best person I can be.

I have been into herps since I can remember, my first lizard was an anole, and my first frog was a whites. My anole lived for 7 years!

I am currently working on a few frog breeding projects, invloving simple frog species that are too often wild caught. such as Greys Tree frogs, green tree frogs, fire belly toads and red eyed tree frogs. I think that just because they are "cheap" they should still be captive bred so that the ones in the wild can stay there...

I am NOT religous, but I belive in Jesus... religon gives church a very bad name, and also makes people act very anal and stupid. Trust me I know!! I also believe that every one has a right to believe in anything they see as true, and that it is important not to judge others based on their personal beliefs.

I LOVE all my pets dearly. I like all kinds of music that is not degrading or negative in nature.

I teach Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder and Guitar lessons for my main job, with silkworming on the side.

Oh yeah, and I have very cold sensitive teeth, and it drives me nuts!

Peace to all!!

[Shane Tesser]

What the heck...ill join in :D My name on my avatar is my real name..i have nothing to hide..as you probably will never find me as i am kept in a closet in our beloved webmasters house! It is from here that i am forced to post and watch the chat 24 hours a day. Today is thursday...which is bread and water day..so im in good spirits! When im not being kept prisoner, im a mechanic professionally, currently on trucks, but in two weeks i am going into heavy equipment. I love all animals thus why i am here. In my spare time, i build things, drink (okay thats all the time) and play guitar. I am 29 but feel about 15...and probably act that way about 90% of the time :)

[Cavesquig]

Not that I have posted here before but.. why not? (I do have one on the newcomers tho =)

Ok, so my name is Andreas, rather recently became 20 years of age. I'm from Sweden (no, no polarbears, or igloos, and no, we don't have penguins walking the streets either, thank you very much. =p) which I seem to be the only one so far.

I have yet to get my corn, I'm negotiation the deal right now =)Hopefully tho it will arrive here within the next couple of weeks. That is what I most eagerly await now (wanted to have a snake for a very long time, so it's a bit of a dream come true for me!)

As for religion, that's not for me, at all. I'm a agnostic atheist (or so a I like to describe it, a little bit of both) and as for music, I'm mostly listening to Goth/Gothic Metal with a little Synth and other Metal thrown into the mix.

Dunno what else to put down, so I'll be quiet now.

[doenoe]

Ok, its my turn now :D
My name is Daan Schouwe. I from the Netherlands and live in a town called Hoorn (this town is found about 30 km above Amsterdam). Im living in a windmill and watch tullips grow, while i polish my klompen (wooden shoes). Im 23 years old right now and i would be pretty happy to get alot older, since i really enjoy my live :D . If you wonder what the nickname Doenoe means, i will explain. It absolutely doesnt mean anything. A couple of friends of mine and me were drunk and started talking funny and after a while, Daan became Doenoe :cool: Most of the time i can be found in the SsnakesS chat. Oh, and i work in a supermarket.
Currently i got 2 emperor scorpions, a male and a female. Im not trying to breed them though. Im working (yes, im still working on that) on an enclosure for 2 bearded dragons, which i hope to buy somewhere in august.
The religion part: The bar is my church and the bartender my god :D . I usually go too church one time a week, mostly on saturday. Most of the time i have a good time there :meddead:
Well, thats about it i guess

[Baby "G"]

Well it’s nice getting to know everyone....I might as well share too.
My name is Nicole, though I go by Nicky most of the time. I was born a Newfy, but I’ve lived in Nova Scotia for 15 of my 21 years on this planet :)
I’m Catholic, but I’m not very religious anymore....stopped going to church when my mom couldn’t force me to go anymore....sometimes it’s good to grow up...sometimes...

I don’t really like to read and I’m absolutely terrified of ticks......but I hate most bugs in general, excluding butterflies, lady bugs and some catapillars.
I’m a real softy when it comes to most animals (nothing creepy crawly with more then 4 legs), kids of all ages, and Matt (my boyfriend, who might I add....knows how to get just about everything he wants..lol.....but no chameleons!!....)

Over the last year or so we’ve started really getting into herps.
Our first was a firebellied toad that just yelled take me home at the pet store, and since then we got 3 more (though the first passed away not to long ago.)
Two redeye tree frogs and Saturday we got our first snake. Though I’m sure that’s just the beginning of our list.

Well nice meeting everyone.
Baby “G”

I am Marisa as my handle says....born and raised in California. Now living in Ontario Canada (don't ask lol) and wishing for California herping each and every day!

Love animals my entire life, had pets always. Just got into reptiles about 4 years ago I would say. Got our first snake almost 3 years ago and it went nuts from there. Shortly after we had many more! :D We keep:

0.1 Jack Russell - Sonique
0.1 Green Iguana - Roxy
0.1 Cat - Spaz
2.2 Cornsnakes - Jack (amel) Loki & Girlfriend (snows) Aimee (anery)
2.0 Kingsnakes - Jose (Mexican Black) and Mojave (Cal king)
0.0.1 Pueblan Milksnake - Shervous
0.0.1 Ball Python - Eight (My BABY!)
1.0 Golden Gecko - Wee
1.0 Red Eared Slider - Mikey

And of course my ten gallon of fancy guppies, TONS of feeder mice, a pair of pet gerbils, and my unborn corn eggs. hehehehehe

I don't like to drink. So I won't be attending some of the posters "church".....I hate ignorant stupid people....I hate overcrowding...in tanks and on my street. I like humour and I like funny people. Well that sums up about as much as I am willing to tell a bunch of reptile freaks.

Okay, I'll bite :p . My name is Cory. I live in London, Ontario with my wife of 12 years and my 11 year old daughter. We all love herps. I manage an autoglass shop for a living and in my spare time I clean aquariums and cages, do repairs on our house, watch TV and read about herps. I'm a bible-thumpin Jesus freak and also non-religious. My weaknesses are beer (I love Guiness) and purchasing new animals. My pet peeve is tailgating. :mad:

Nice to meet everyone! :D

I am Adam Webster born in the Annapolis Valley and now live in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia. I just turned 16 last month and I got a Borneo short-tailed python for my birthday! I have a religion, but its not a specific one (mostly Christian I guess). I believe there is a god (or gods) and I believe you don't have to bore the hell out of yourself every Sunday to believe in them. I am mostly into blood and short-tailed pythons and I have the best dog EVER! I absolutely LOVE karate and could not survive without it, my specific style is chito-ryu. Hmmm, what else...well I can catch fish with my hands, and I love eating them! My favorite type of fish is Boston Bluefish. Um, I like to hang out with people from different parts of the world. Ok thats all I can think of right now, peace out.
Adam

[lolaophidia]

Ok, I'm Lora Vencill currently living in Virginia, USA. Lived in Markham/Unionville, Ont. for a couple years growing up. I travel- a lot (over 300 days last year), so snakes are really the easiest pet for me to keep. Come home and feed them, clean cages and head back out of town. Recently got a new job that will keep me at home, which is a good thing since I'm trying to breed my snakes... Lost a clutch of 17 African House snake eggs due to incubator malfunction last week.

Currently I keep 1.1 African House snakes, 0.1 Queensland Carpet python, 1.0 Taiwanese Beauty snake, 2.2 Mandarin Rat snakes (I definitely want to be home when they breed!), 0.1 Mexican Black King snake, 2 cats- a Bengal and a Siamese, a couple of fish tanks- various fish. I've had lots of snakes-been catching them since I was 7, a few lizards- the best was a chinese crocodile lizard, turtles, parrots, ferrets, frogs, lots of rescued wild life...

I'm married, not religious, read a lot- mostly science fiction/fantasy/horror and the odd science journal, listen to a variety of music- mostly alternative/punk/techno, have quite a few tattoos and a few piercings, I love Formula one racing, shooting pool, handguns (used to shoot IDPA), and fishing.

That's more than enough to introduce my self.
Cheers!

:medsly:

[Dozer]

Seeen, its mah turn :D

The names Mike Poplawski. 18 years of age. Born in Poland. Currently finishing highschool. Off to York university to study Health Sciences. I dont have many reptiles, even though I love them. I wear whatever suits me best, ranging from casual gear like TImberland to gino beatin' Parasuco :P I'm a mutt :D I live in SARS-borough, I dont own a gun nor do I live in public housing. But I'm sure theres tonnes of people here in Scarborough that do. My interests are polish ladies, sexy ladies, cars, stereo systems and all of that sorta business. Religion wise, I'm getting around to being a practising catholic. No peircings, no tats, no body disfigurment. A lot of people tell me I should be a comedian. I want to do somethin' else.

Need to ask more questions . . . ;)

[Dozer]

Oh ya...

6'1" and about 165 pounds... not much of a man in size yet :D Could use an extra 30 lbs, anyone got that. . . :D

I listen to rap and all other the other kinds of music too, whatever saounds good ya know :D

[unBOAlievable]

OK but I do not know to shorten it,

My name is Anthony Gay. I have been married for 14 years to my wife Donna. We have two children, 1.1.0. Our daughter 13 and our son 11.

Held my first venomous at the age of 5. Thought it was my rubber snake wrapped around a tree, turned out to be a copper head. I still remember wy dad killing it.:(

At the age of 12 I had over sixty native snakes from ringnecks, to rat snakes and kingsnakes. No snakes in the house so I kept them outside in aquariums (at this time It was ok to use aquariums) halfway burried in the ground with a shelter over them to keep them from filling up with rain water. Successfully breeding all.

Married at 20, luckily my wife had the same love for reptiles. Soon we had reptiles in every room of the house even in the bathrooms. The majority of our reptiles were rescues, and I do not use the term lightly. These were not reptiles that were living in to small of an enclosure, I only take in reptiles that need constant medical attention and we have worked with nearly every disease, even Inclusions body disease and cryptosporidia. Our average cost for supplies and antibiotics and surgeries run at least 4 grand a year. All of this puts an emotional drain on you, working with reptiles you knew were inevidably going to die and the constant thought of, should I try to save it or put it out of its pain.

In 97 we built our facility to house reptiles we wanted to work with instead of what was brought to us. Using the knowledge from what we had learned over the years and seen we built our facilty to be as sanitary as possable. We built all new cages and do not swap reptiles from cage to cage and have a standard protocall of sanitation before we work with every reptile. No two reptiles are housed together exept for breeding.

We love all reptiles and work with arachnids,amphibians,colubrids,boas,and pythons.

We still take injured/very sick reptiles and we still cry when they die. I will never understand peoples logic in the fact there reptile is ill so they take it back to the petstore.

Well, that is my life in a nutshell, ok a big nutshell,
Thanks
Anthony Gay


Here is a pic of an imaciated 5' boa I just recieved. It died during rehydration.

[katev17]

Oh yes! I'm friends with Kate, that's officially the coolest thing about me :D

Need I say more?

My name's Kate ("Hi Kate")... I have a 6 month (we think) veiled chameleon, and he's too cool for school. Heather (PunkyPornoStar) is my best friend! WOOHOO! You're all soooo jealous...

I've played soccer for 13 .. maybe 14 years now (I'm 17)... but as extremely lame as this sounds, I've stopped playing because of the politics behind it...

I'm in grade 12, graduating this year, then going BACK for another 2 courses... Oh yes, I'm very pleased about that. Then I'm going on a month long trip to Australia with Phantom (Genevieve!!!!). SO Much fun. :)

As for religion... let me put it this way... When I was younger my grandma would take me to church, but all I would do was colour in these awesome colouring books they had... unfortunately I got yelled at for colouring during ... something I wasn't supposed to be colouring during, and that's pretty much ruined it for me. I'm really of no religion, but it's not something that concerns me in the least.

MUSIC! I'm VERRRRY touchy about my music... (Don't even attempt to talk to me about Blink 182... Sum 41... "AVRIL LAVIGNE"...)

NOFX, the Vandals (haha Aaron :D), Propagandhi, Big Wig, Belvedere, NICOTINE!, Weezer... oh man it goes on.

Anyway, I'm friggin cool. [Cool factor's through the roof, I'd say.]

That's all you need to know.
Kate

[SnowFoxx]

Hi, my name is Victoria, and I think GreggM is really hot so it's too damn bad I'm engaged!! :p

I live in a tiny apartment in Portland, the biggest city in Maine - which isn't saying a lot. I have a lot of herps (I think it's a lot, anyway) but horses are my first love. I used to live on and manage horse farms. I have also been a stripper, among my more unsavory career choices. Good money in that.

I'm 22, but I've been on my own since 15, so I feel older. I met my fiance online at a Star Wars/Zen/philosophical forum three years ago, while I was living in Minnesota, and moved in with him whithout ever meeting him in person.

I'm *exactly* half Cherokee and half Irish, fresh off the boat. I have never met my dad (the Cherokee side).

I'm Pagan, but *not* Wiccan. I have unpopular feelings about religion in the Pagan/Wiccan "community" and am extremely solitary as a result.

I have had my hair almost every different color. It was green, but is now blond because I had to bleach it before putting on the green dye. I think purple will be next. I have no piercings except my ears because I am a big baby about pain. I do have a tattoo of a very important religious symbol on the back of my right shoulder. I'll post a pic of it sometime soon. More tattoos are in the works.

I am a CNA, soon to be monitor tech also, at the largest hospital in Maine. I work with cardiac patients, and in all areas of intensive care, including the pediatric ICU. I have seen people from all walks of life, and of all ages, die both expected and unexpected death. My job has aged me.

At the end of this month I am moving three hours north, and Nick and I will fianlly have a house of our own. I bought a Pug puppy, named Lily, who will be coming home from the breeder on the 17th.

I ride horses, belly dance, run whenever I can, and devour all kinds of books. I'm currently learning to drive. I have no friends or family anywhere, and would be terribly lonely if not for my herps.

This post has gotten way too long, so I'll leave it at that.

[nouserpif]

Well, I am Daniel Charles Conner. I have my own screwy little religion that combines Buddhism, Wiccan, and many other pagan beliefs. Somehow, it makes sense :D .
I am 14, and 6', 200 LBS, play guitar/vocals for YellowFlipFolder (worlds crappiest band), and I am hoping to get a stand-up bass soon to start a punkabilly band. I am into many different styles of music, and music is pretty much my life. I like the neo/pop-punk to oldschool punk, the 1950's rockabilly to Psychobilly/gothabilly/surf, ska, reggae, dub, hardcore, nu-metal, almost all 80's stuff (ESPECIALLY the Buggles and the Vapors...), lots of old rock n' roll (again, leaning more towards rockabilly), alternative, japa-punk, "death meatal disco"... Ramones, Sex Pistols, Stray Cats, Ska-tallites, Moneyshot, Vandals, Godhead, and the Vendors all deserve to be thrown in here.
Anything, as long as its not mainstream, you could say :D
I play lots of football (Right Offensive Guard), and proudly classify myself as a neo-punkabilly. As you might be able to guess, I like genre labels. I am very smart, but, unfortunately, do not care, so I get bad marks in school (if only I tried ;) )
I am getting out of the hobby, but will still stick around the boards.
I live in Victoria, BC, and hope to become rich and famous in a rockabilly revival/ pop-punk band. Gonna be a rock star, danny boy!
Dan Conner

[nouserpif]

Hey, Kate, you like Belvedere? I never knew they were getting so big, lol! They are AWESOME live! saw em twice now... Once with satanic surfers, moneyshot, Daryls Grocery Bag (rip DBG, I salute you!) and they were awesome, second only to Moneyshot. and, another time I can't remember. Did ya see the interveiw with nicotine lst night on the Punk Show? It was pretty cool... GET THE LIBERTY! and I gotta pull that water bottle stunt at my first gig... haha, jsut kinda ranting now...

[alan]

Hello! My name is Alan (pretty obvious, isn't it?) and I am 25 yrs old living in Toronto (Richmond Hill to be exact). I started this hobby last dec and got addicted ever since :D. I currently have 5 reptiles (as seen in my signature) and are trying to get more by breeding the pair of day geckos. I am Chinese, which is rare since there're not much chinese herpers out there. However, I think the population is growing, which is nice. I always wondered if there are any other asian herpers on this site, give me a shout if you are. :D

I like to hang around in Chinese places (resturants, malls, karaoke, bar etc), and I work in a Chinese karaoke as a bartender. My gf is Chinese too and similar to Tim and Julie B, she lives right across from my house (i met her from univ though) and we've been going out for 3.5 yrs already. She's not much of a reptile person (more like a dog person) but luckily she don't mind me having them at all :D

[katev17]

Hey Dan, Belvedere aren't really getting that big at all... I've liked them for a long time now, since I saw them opening for another little band. No need to worry.

No, I didn't see the interview with Nicotine, I can't stand that "punk show," the first time I saw it, two blink 182 songs were played, and that did it for me. Too bad, I guess... Nicotine are the happiest guys on Earth, seeing as they're stuck in Canada... (sounds guy needed surgery so now they have no money to return to Japan) .. haha yea "My name is Howie and when I grow up I want to be a mother$*&%ing punk rock so I can get the liberty." Oh man... "Killer Shark Attack" is by far the best song on the planet... 'i saw the triangle!'

Satanic Surfers were cool, before Hero of Our Time... every song on that sounds the same, although I still listen to Ketty every once in a while.

[red bootz]

I haven't really introduced myself on these boards yet...no time like the present.
My name is Len, and I'm 28 years old going on something a lot younger. I moved out to Montreal from Vancouver about a year ago to take up duties for the Montreal Branch of the company I work for. We import specialty Japanese items for the restaurant trade so if sushi's your thing then I am your man (spent a year in Japan studying the shiz).
I've been herpin' and catching bugs ever since could remember. Not the easiest thing to do coming up in the inner city of Vancouver (chinatown to be exact). Not much in the way of nature if you know what I mean. But there are pockets of nice herpin' area if you know where to look.
Religion is something that I take for granted. Unenlightened as we all are there's no sense in pushing one god or another. But if there is a truth, and we can all find a path to enlightentment I'm all for it. Unfortunately, I think I've sold my soul a long time ago.
Music-wise I used to be into hip hop, punk, tech, pop, turbo's windin', women-a-wailing, just about anything and everything at one time or another. I'm married now. I just like peace and quiet...my ears hurt.
Two red foots and a boxie. Had more but couldn't bring them with me. Them's the breaks!

Ok here goes....
My name is Dave Easter and I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I am currently employed as an applications programmer for an automotive supplier. I've got a great girl named Barb, who lives with me, and keeps me in line (but I like it :p) . You may see her posting from time to time under my handle. We both love our first reptile, a ball python named Sophia. We also have a cat named Pedro, or as I like to call him, "Hey you little f*ck*r!" I am a proud Senators fan. I also love Volkswagens. Am currently driving a 92 jetta with over 300000 kms.

I would post a pic of myself, but I don't have my baseball bat handy, so sorry ladies. :p

[LISA127]

My name is Lisa. I am 34 years old and live in ohio. I have two daughters, ages 8 and 9. I have been married for almost 11 years. I have been keeping reptiles for about 6 years. I currently have a leopard gecko, a corn snake, a ball python, and a missing blue tongued skink. and will be getting my bearded dragon tomorrow. i also have a dog named cocoa and 2 cats. I am catholic - italian (actually sicilian) and german. i am 5'0" tall and have dark hair and dark eyes. i run a latchkey program at the elementary school and volunteer at the local humane society.

i like classic rock and country music. and i like to read horror.

[GekkoGeck0]

My name is Ashley, also known as GekkoGeck0 all around the herp communities on the 'net. I'm 20 years old, female and I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I've loved reptiles all my life, but I never got a chance to own them until I moved out on my own.

Since everyone seems to be mentioning their bodyart, I guess I'll mention mine as well. I have 13 piercings and one tattoo. I'm going to remove one or two piercings and get them redone because they're migrating. My tattoo unfortunately was screwed up by the artist and didn't turn out a thing like the picture I gave him (it's a small black lizard). I'm planning on having it covered up later and getting a few more different tattoos. The next one will probably be my little webfooted gecko.

I currently own:

0.1.0 Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko)
1.2.0 Dwarf aquatic frogs (Hymenochirus boettgeri)
1.1.0 Firebellied toads (Bombina orientalis)
0.0.1 Webfooted gecko (Palmatogecko rangei)

I had a normal phase leopard gecko that I sold to a new home to make room in my tiny apartment for my webfooted gecko.

Geckos are definitely my favorite reptile. I appreciate and love all other herps, too, but geckos are top on my list. All except the eublepharids. There's something about the Gekkoninae that are just so much more appealing to me.

I like colubrids and venomous snakes as well. I plan to get a cornsnake, or perhaps a rough/smooth green snake (I can't decide) in the future. Unfortunately, considering my inexperience with snakes and the fact that I have a cat I love very dearly in the house (I'd kick myself for the rest of my life if a venomous snake got out and bit him), I won't be able to keep venomous reptiles at any point in the near future.

Well, there's probably a lot more to say about me, but I prefer not to ramble. If you'd like to see pictures of my pets, I have a webpage dedicated to them:

OMG Matt the joke's on me. I was up late too and misunderstood your post haha

I thought you meant BW was getting the "collection" from Cyberghost and that we (Cyberghost: ...but I also must add beejay and drewlowe to my list. HEy babies nay of yall single?) were included in it.

hahaha I didn't even NOTICE your grammar error.

Love,
Beverly

[drewlowe]

Huh what did i miss add me to what list LOL.

[damzookeeper]

Hi everyone, sorry for taking so long to get here. lol, lots of reading. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Deb or Debbie. Well, that isn't my full name but if anyone calls me Deborah it's grounds for a kick in the shin! That's about where I can reach since I'm only 4' 11". lol
I will be merried for 9 years next month. Man that makes me feel old. Now where'd I put that dang cane? lol.
I have an 8 year old ( going on 20) daughter named Cynthia. Our only child. She is into herps just as much as I am but Joe, my husband, is scared of them. lol. I would love to own a small snake but to him there is no such thing. He also hates bugs. What a woosie. lol, but I love him and he is very supportive of me and my business.
We met when I was 13 and he was 16, and 16 years later we are still going strong. Scary sometimes. lol.
We bought our first house last year and I was so happy to get my own herp room. :) Hubby's idea so he didn't have to see them but hey, I didn't mind, it gave me room to add to the family. lol.
I now have about 14 beardies, 40 leos, 4 fatties, a blue tongue, a tree frog, and a newt. Oh, and can't forget my daughters darn gold fish and koi. lol. For other pets we have a sweetie pie tiel and a spoiled rotten ferret. :) You can see the whole pet family on my site.
I live in a little hick town, 1/2 way between Montreal and Ottawa, and the herp community is almost non excicting here, but we are starting to contaminate the population. lol. :) I'm trying to spread the word along with a couple herp friends. Having Little Ray's about an hour away is a big help!! :) I try to promote them as much as I can.
Well, I think that about sums me up. Oh ya, and my friends say I have no life cuz I spend all my free time with my herps. lol. It's a wonderful life for me. :) I am often called Lizard lady or Dragon Lady at work. Bahah, I guess that's better than what I used to be called at my previous job. lol, I wonder if anyone can guess? No, there is no swearing in it. :)

[Morti]

Hi. I'm Donnie, but people like to Call me Morti.

I am an admin at ReptileHaven.net and generalized web junkie wherever two or more herpers are gathered together.

I have a lot of critters and I am perminantly attached to LdyDrgn, who is also an admin at ReptileHaven.net and generalized web junkie.

I'm 25ish and I have no hair.

Have fun.

[LdyDrgn]

Permanently attached, eh? Quite the trick with you at work and me here at home! HAHAHAHA That is one loooong leash you have there buddy. :D

[Morti]

Yes, but so long as it's a nice leash and the collar is black leather with studs on it, it should all be ok, right?

-Morti.

*edited to add: This post is in poor taste and I am considering reporting myself to an admin. -M.*

[RPlank]

Nevermind, I am just feeling old, seeing all the teens on here.
Here is my info:
Randy Plank
31
Married with children 1.3 (Still love that TV show, BTW!)
Live in Colorado, USA
Can be found on numerous boards as RPlank
Was a cop for nine years, but got sick of the BS (from the public, AND the brass!)

I have 1.3 Ball Pythons, 1.1 BCI's, 0.0.1 Normal Cornsnake. Someday, when the kids leave home and I can afford to feed it, I want a normal burm.
Thats about it....I'm off to take out my dentures, take my meds, put an afghan (blanket!) on my legs, and watch old Ed Sullivan reruns, younguns!

[damzookeeper]

Ya, I know what you mean, I couldn't get over all the amount of younger members here. I thought there were a lot more older folk than that here, but then, maybe they just aren't replying?? Eithor way, it was great to hear a bit about everyone and nice to see so many new members reply as well as the old ones. :)

Well, it's friday the 13th so I'm giong to put on my protective gear and head out to work for the day. If I make it back home I'll be on later. ;)

Happy Friday everyone!!

[Aqua_Elf]

Hi okay well I'm Aqua_Elf formally CYberGhost who was recently banne dfor no reason and is absolutly ridiculous so I had to make this new stupid screen name. SO I just wanted to put it out there that I ws banned for something stupid and then apogized to the mods and begged for forgiveness, wthout a reply and am still banned. I was also accused of being all these people I dont even know except a few, but only because I use a shared comp.

[Zoe]

Aqua_Elf - actually, you were not banned for no reason, as the mods here are great and don't ban unless they really really need to, and the person does not change their behavious after a few warning.
Anyway, though, welcome *back* to the site! Hopefully things go better this time!

Zoe

[Aqua_Elf]

Are you a modd? So no I never got a warning from a mod and I didt even know the reason until I e-mailed one of them. I was banned for arguing with BP13 but I dont see many of the others that did this banned. They said it was becuase I shared the same IP as some other banned members who use the same connection as I do at this shared comp.

[ReptiZone]

I am not gona argue with you what you did but I was arguing with bp13 a bit too but I kbnow how too argue I was warned in the past and I learned how to do things you will to you will see and if ppl are posting under your name change your pass word and log out every time you are done here don't let the comp save your pass word and if you do see that some one posted under your name go to edit post and erase it and then post a reply and tell ppl that it was not you. That is what i do when the G/F postes and it is not clear info.

[Aqua_Elf]

Its not that its a shared comp the public can sue it and other people in my city haev accounts on here that use this comp and connection and got banned. THerfore we have the same IP and so I guess the mods though we were the same person(s). But I still think IO should get my old name back because I apologized and really never got a warning from a mod I didt know I apogized and hate this stupid screen name. I have begge the mods but they wont evenm return my e-mails so I posted here to let them know and let everyone else know who I am.

[Zoe]

Aqua - it may very well be because you have a shared IP that you haven't been completely banned. So I'd just let it go, be happy that you can still frequent the site and enjoy the forums :)

Zoe

[Aqua_Elf]

Its because I have the shared Ip I was banned they didt know they told me in the e-mail they sent me when I was 1st banned thye said I was the same as these other people and therfore I was on probation which I broke when arguing with BP13 so you see I should have been on probation but I should be now so I should get my old name back because I hate this one.

[Nethius]

Hi, my name is Scott, I live on the east coast of Canada... Nova Scotia to be exact. I'm 27, but don't look or act it. I have 3 gecko's, 5 piranha, and 2 cats. My pets keep me busy, but too busy to have fun! I used to skateboard alot, but i've been slacking lately. I have no religion, and live for the moment! Here's a pic me when i was visiting Toronto a few years back!

[Aqua_Elf]

Welcome to our world Scott, it way k0ol!!!

[JungleDancer]

OK..... pretty cool thread.... here comes the old crone......

I'm Cathy, born, lived and will probably die here in Southern California although I have moved from Orange to Riverside county:) Graduated from San Clemente High School in 1972 and went on to become an animal services officer and shelter manager for that city after it opened in the late 70's. When I decided that it was no longer good being owned by the city 24/7 I ventured out on my own and became the best pet stylist I could possibly be and have owned/operated my own shop since 1987 and will probably be there as long as my body holds out.

My pierced ears are long closed up, only one tat on back of yellow naped amazon parrot which I brought with me for the tat artist to duplicate as best as he could, and only body disfigurements are the surgical scars, stretch marks from 1.1 children (29 & 25), and multiple animal bite and scratch scar reminders of battles long past.

I am huge on education for all responsible pet ownership, domestics and exotics.

I kept large boids in the early 70's but gave them up when I got married and started having children. I swore then if I ever had snakes again it would have to be my "dream" snakes, the exquisite gtp. Guess what..... because of a rescue I did last year I fell back into snakes in a big way and didn't expect that only a year later I'd have 8 gtps, one of which is currently gravid! I'm so excited, I feel young again about being a midwife.

Besides that we have 1 parakeet-Baboo, 3 dogs-Murdock, Chase and Birdie. The 5 snakes currently with names are Zhaan, Zalty, D'Argo, Snapdragon and Boomerang..... mouse colony with lots of mice:)

I grew up in the 60's of very liberal parents and was raised in a pagan lifestyle from day one. I now just consider myself Gaian and am extremely spiritual and thankful for all this blessed earth has given us. On a side note, I'm especially pleased that the sharing of so many personal paths here has not incited any conflicts!! WOO HOO!!! The world leaders could take this as an example of multiple belief systems getting along just fine. Pretty sure most religions are basically run on the same premise of loving thy brother and doing unto others, yada yada..... so sad that it's such a problem living side by side.

I'm high on recycling.... it's a great thing we can do for this planet..... hemp products...... did you know just even automobiles can be propelled with hemp-oil. You'll find me in the state of Washington in August for Hemp Fest showing support again and having a wonderful time with like minded people.

I am an avid drummer, play native american flute, dance with the full moon skyclad.

Now you see why us old farts haven't chimed in too much..... we've been around too long and it's hard to give the condensed version of who we are. So..... now, if I haven't bored you all too much to get kicked out of this place I'll go back and have some more fun here reading around.

[Gregg M]

Welcome cathy...... Old farts are cool too..... LOL......

I am obssessed with Dragons, Gargoyles, and Angels.
I am always broke.
My wardrobe is 90% black.

I have 18 allergies, 4 of which can kill me. 2 of those 4 can kill me in under 10 mins.

[Collide]

[Melly18]

Well I guess i'll take a turn at this....

My name is Melanie Marie Savoie, i'm 19 and live in Scarborough also known as sarsborough to some :p After tomorrow I will be done high school (yaii!) and will be attending Centennial College for the Early Childhood Education program.

My first language is French and obviously i can speak english as you can see. I've lived in Scarborough all my life but moved to New-Brunswick for 2 years but moved back to Toronto when i was 12.

I'm not really picky when it comes to music...i listen to rap, hip hop, dance, pop, and some alternative. As for religion i'm catholic but i don't consider myself religious...

I got into reptiles about a year ago thanks to my boyfriend Nick (aka Chappy on the site) he made me realize how great these animals really are and how fun they are to have. I currently own:
1.0 Ball python
0.1 Chinese Water Dragon
0.0.1 Pacman Frog
1.1 Bearded Dragons
1.0 Hamster :p

Well that's all i can think of to say for now :)

[Mr.Lizard]

I'm Kevin,I live in beautiful Florida with my beautiful wife Cheryl.
I'm 38 yrs old and herp lover since I was about 3.
Born in Michigan and moved to Florida in '74--YAY! More HERPS!
My wife thought I was a freak the first time she came to my place
and saw my 6 1/2' albino Burm in a cage as long as my bed "Smell?" What smell?
I dig 70's,80's,the "new"jazz,and "old people music".
Religiously,I have no real direction except that I believe you MUST
keep an open mind or else your shutting yourself off from the true essence of spirituality and limiting your perception of reality.
I love to draw and paint...I've got a nice mural including an Asian water monitor near a jungle waterfall I did in my livingroom.
I also love to garden and my front yard looks kinda like Busch Gardens(my favorite theme park)including two lizard-shaped topiaries bordering one of my three ponds.
Monitors are my all time favorites,'specially water monitors,but I've kept plenty of snakes,turtles and even a few crocodilians...
...ahhhh Florida.
My wife is sort of an anti-herper with the exception of chameleons...I'm workin' on her though. I've managed to get an Asian water monitor past her "NO MOUSE EATERS" rule.
I love to take an occasional kayak trip down one of Florida's gorgeous rivers. Myakka is awesome and loaded with HUGE gators...what a rush!

[snkmn]

[RaVeNo888o]

Well, my name is Kyle, im 18. Brown hair, blue eyes (i have pics of me in my photo album) i live about a 40 min drive east of toronto, in Pickering. I've loved snakes since i was little, but just got my first one a year ago (cal king). I want a ball python and some corns, but first im getting some crested geckos. Hockey used to be my life, ive played since i was 4, i used to play AAA, but quit last year to finish school and have more time for my friends and stuff. I graduated in june and am going to UOIT (the new university on durham college campus) in september for Business IT.
i love punk music, and other rock. I was supposed to go to the Warped tour in barrie yesterday, but my grandpa died on wed and his funeral was yesterday. I like bands like Finch, Northstar, The Used, Mad Caddies, Glassjaw, The Starting Line, Rufio, and like 50+ more.
I like piercings, I have my right brow done and 6g lobes. I have plans for several self designed tattoos, but they have been posponed due to my sudden love of crested geckos. But when i do get one, my first will be my last name in honour of my grandpa (prolly b4 xmas)
Ive been hit by a bus, a car and a bike, the bike doing the most damage (im not some disable person or anything). I dont like papar cuts, and icecream is always a good meal. My sister is 3 years younger than me but we have the same birthdate, and it was also my parents wedding anniversary until they seperated a few years ago.
Ive been single for over a year, because i havent met anyone interesting, and the high school crowd was getting very dull, can't wait till univ in september. Ive been in love once, then she dumped me after a year, for a guy ive known since jk.
Umm, this is long, but i never introduced myself when i joined anyways.

[lilyskip]

I can ignore this thread no longer.

I'm Mollie--I'm 19 years old and I'm from Miami, Florida (yeah, bienvenidos...heard it before...), but I am a sophomore at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut, so I just started experiencing all four seasons last year! I also am pretty new at herping, but I research it compulsively (literally, an average of least 10 hours a week so far), so it feels like it's been a lot longer for me. I own 1.0 ball python, and plan on getting some leos and another snake within the next two years.

I'm Jewish, and starting to pick up on the cooking gene...
I'm about to go out for some Thai food...
I've never been to Canada...
I love ice cream (hmmm...maybe after the Thai food)...
I love theater/improv/writing funny things in the school newspaper, when they'll let me

I also think you all are hot. :D

[sapphire_moon]

Well lets see where to start.......

I am 19 been into studing herps for years. But never got to own one until december of 2001....my first BP a male named Damballah (a voodoo god/dess).....He is 3ft now...I also just recently got my female baby bp Prana (breath of life, or life). I am a solitary pagan. I am the gothic kind but if I dress it or act it in this town/state then I will probably be shot, or have rocks thrown at me till I die.....
Live in Kansas and hate it....I was living in New England. But was told my grandmother was sick so me and my partner would come back. Me and my partner has considered moving to Canada....Kansas sucks, and so does the U.S.......We are trying to save the money up to move to Maine.....I can't wait.
The weather gets to be OVER 100 degrees...usually daily. It's so frickin hot. The job situation sucks. I am into bod mod and tatts so no one will hire me. I have three tatts. A cobra coiled around 2 blue roses on my chest, kind of below my neck but above my breast (am I allowd to say that?) A tribal that looks like either 2 swans with their necks bent to a heart shape or just a heart with wings tattooed on the side of my neck, and a humming bird on the front-back of my leg....I also have 1.1 cockatiels, 1 cat, 2.0 dogs, and 1 Netherland Dwarf rabbit. And did I say this state sucks????

P.S
I've turned into a Herpaholic.......I walk past the rubbermaids and imagine ways I can use them! lol

P.S.S My name is Ashley.......

[Oliverian]

've turned into a Herpaholic.......I walk past the rubbermaids and imagine ways I can use them Lol! Welcome to the club! I havn't really introduced myself yet, so here it goes.

I'm 14, but people think I look older. Blonde, glasses/contacts, greenish eyes, fairly tall. I'm actually quite shy sometimes, though you wouldn't think that if you knew me well.

I like a wide variety of music. I like pretty much everything... sports, books, water... Name it and i'll probably like it. Not freaked out or grossed out by much... theres only one thing im really scared of. (If you really want to know.. PM me. just beware.. its pretty stupid.)

I have been totally fascinated by animals since I was really little. I used to curl up in my blankets in the morning and say to my mom and dad... 'hatch me, hatch me!' And then I would hatch into some critter or other. I always used to carry around my bucket of plastic snakes and dinosaurs, and sit all by myself and play all day. This one time, I took them to my mom's friends house, who was a very serious plant person. I sat in a corner and proceeded to feed her beautiful houseplants to my dinosaurs. I don't think she was very impressed, but my mom laughs and still remembers it.

I have kept many various things in those critter keepers... A lot of different things. Since I was little, I've caught (and most released after a while):
-various frogs and toads (PM me for a cute story)
-mantises
-various snakes
-turtles
-spiders
-butterflies
-a bat at one time
-baby lake fish
and many other critters I can't remember.

I still love animals and now have
-cockatiel
-really fat cat
-rabbit
-feeder goldfish that are HUGE... theyre pets now.
-lake fish
-guppie babies
-Garter snake
-snails
-spadefoot toads
-3 mantises that I hatched earlier this year (let most of them go)
and various other things that come and go. I have 3 ribbon snakes on the way as well.

Sorry that was so long... you know how it is. You get typing and don't want to stop! This has actually been really interesting, I've got to know a lot about all of you. See you all around. ~TR~

Well, Like everyone else, i'm going to jump on the bandwagon here.

My name is Justin, I live with my girlfriend who occasionally uses this account. Im very close to being 21, and i grew up catching watersnakes and garters on the Bruce Peninsula. I got my first "pet" herp when i was 15. it was an armadillo lizard. Since then, i've had many lizards and never really got into snakes till the last 6 months or so. Between my girlfriend and I, we currently own two savs, a blackthroat monitor, three balls and a burm.

now, onto the non-herp related stuff about me. I spent 2 years in Multimedia design, but, i gave up after i realized i couldnt actually draw a stickman.

when im sitting around the house, i wear pajama pants. when i go out, I'm all goth'd out. Which looks funny, cause my girlfriend is a prep. I guess opposites attract.

I like tattoos and piercings. I have two tattoos, and 00 guage earrings. I've retired some lip and nipple piercings. My new interest is surface piercing, which im researching on which one to get for now. although I Like the goth clothing attire, im not too fond of vinyl pants.

I believe in God, but i refuse to be part of a denomination because I dont think it's right to take someone else's interpretation of things and stick to that.

After herps, my other passion is target shooting. I love guns almost as much as i love herps (but, with anything, responsibility and saftey is paramount)

I Love music. Industrial music is groovy, EBM is my fav genre thou. (bands like wumpscut, Funker Vogt, Covenant, Suicide Commando.. etc etc etc...)

I dislike arrogent "im better then you" people, mornings, and stale potato chips

I like beer, Mr. noodles, and velvet pants.

i'm also easily distracted by shiney lights.

Cheers. Keep on posting :P

Hey I guess maybe i should jump in too
My name is Yness and I am 24 years old. I'm just getting into the whole herp thing. I am in the process of setting up for a Rainbow Boa (i will post pics of her as soon as I can). I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and am currently studying Theatre at the U of Manitoba. I am going to go into pharmacy and hope to have many many reptiles. (I am already planning on getting a bearded dragon once i have my boa set up properly).

I like acting and reading and stuff. My dress code is if its comfy I'll wear it. So far that has worked for me.

btw thnx for the website. I feel a little more comfortable having a place to go if I have questions
