I had found this forum during a search, and usually, before i join any forum, being for reptiles, or one of my other interests, tattoos and body piercings, i tend to be a lurker for quite a while, just soaking up the knowledge and trying to get up the courage to actually interact, since i'm quite shy, personality wise.

I really love the atmosphere here, very laid back and extremely friendly, and i am very glad i joined

. I also enjoy hearing about other people's experiences with their various reptiles, be it snakes, geckos, etc. And i'm always eager to learn, because i know there is so many things i might not know.

Saw Waynes amazing thamnophis collection. Found during a search and loved the quality of the members.

I was searching out food sizes for various snakes as I provide some of the larger prey items for snakes in my area (rabbits, chickens, ect..) And I found the `food for thought`part, which was very informative.

After many discussions with my customers and having such good subjects to participate in or just read through, I started to fall in love with the snakes themselves. Hubby bought me my first 3 snakes this summer.

I am a member of some other forums, but this is the one I participate in the most. The others I go to because I am participating ina particular thread, or simply put..... to amuse myself with all thier bickering back and forth!!

But I come here to learn, help where I can and to discuss snakes with a bunch of good people.

I was searching something about corn snakes, looked through a thread for like 3 pages before I realized it was a forum :P Didn't do any lurking I just felt compelled to join.

I was researching Reptiles, and stumbled upon this site. It was the first one with actual helpful answers, and the people seemed to be quite helpful so I decided it would be a good community to be apart of..

DeesBalls · 09-20-11, 07:56 PM

Well, 4 yrs ago when i joined... (i think 4 yrs ago) i just got my KSB and was a lurker for a bit... decided to join after a while after seeing how helpful Wayne (Infernalis) was and still is today, so, an easier answer... the helpful people.... (i.e. LankyRob, Mykee, Infernalis, and many, many more!!!)

Why should it be one or the other? Why not one and the other..?

I would have chosen both "I liked both the knowledge and atmosphere" had it been on the list of the options.
