Sucked in to the hobby!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to make a quick post to introduce myself.

I've long been interested in snakes, however never done more than catch the occasional garter snake. My wife has had a snake phobia for many years which didn't help.

After a lot of discussions & research I ended up with a nice little royal python (normal) a few months ago. To my shock my wife is now more obsessed with it than I am!

A little while later and I now also have a 1.1 dumeril boa pair (beautiful creatures that they are!) and am currently researching what next to acquire.

Anyway, thanks for the great forum!

(Can I view attachments now? )

Re: Sucked in to the hobby!

Thanks everyone, I'm currently burrowed into the Ottawa area.

Unfortunately just found out that the dumeril 1.1 pair I took delivery of this week is actually a 2.0! Working on resolving that, but I'll need to try and find a 0.1 now.

Welcome! You should get a corn snake. If you like outgoing snakes then you got one there.

Re: Sucked in to the hobby!

Thanks everyone!

I'll work on pictures. Been giving them their space to settle in. The smaller one took a medium ft rat a couple nights ago. Hit it like it was going out of style. the bigger one is a little more difficult but he snuck over and ate a medium ft that I left for him after he didn't show any interest.

Also hooked up a herpstat 2. That is one nice piece of gear! Just waiting on a second 120w rhp and the enclosures will be done.
