Just moved in
Hi everyone,
Looks like a GREAT site here. Lot's of herp lovers in Canada, eh. 
I am new here and I just moved back to Canada. I have been living in Taiwan for the past five years.
I first love is my wife and second is Chelonians. I also like other herps, but my wife will not allow me to have any other herps - YET! Ha ha ha!
She was surprised when she met me how into turtles I am, but now she has come to love them. She is terrified of snakes, but she loves pretty patterns - like Star Tort. I am slwoly trying to get to appreciate the colours of various snakes and lizards. We'll see.
I keep aquatic turtles right now, but I am looking to get into tortoises. If you know of any available in Canada, give me a shout.
Cheers,
JJ

Hello and welcome to the group
I'm sure you'll eventually be able to get a snake or lizard, just keep showing pretty pics and showing her the tamest and one day it'll happen! Good luck

Did you do any herping in Taiwan? Welcome to sSnakeSs and welcome back to Canada. Good luck on getting other herps in the house.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. This is a real FINE site. Lot's of knowledge and very friendly people.
ETET - I have common snappers as well. Yeah, my favourite is Star Torts and I have been trying to get one for the longest time. They cost over C$1000 in Canada!
Edwin - yeah, 'wu gwei' means turtle in Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese).
Lisa - I did herp in Taiwan - most turtles and with rehabed some wild RES & Chinese Golden Threads (native). I have seen a few snakes in Taiwan, but I didn't know what they were. There are a lot of exotic species in Taiwan, but mostly smuggled in though.
Anyway, great site. Glad I found it and I heop to learn more about snakes and hopefully my wife will warm up to them....
Cheers,
JJ
