I cannot for the life of me remember if I posted here before. I registered a while back, but have had problems signing back on, but just got that fixed.
I have been into herps (one of my first loves as hobbies go) for a long time, about 36 years now. Started off with red Earred Sliders, graduated to Anoles, then to some other turtles and snakes. I've kept snakes, turtles, lizards, newts and salamanders, frogs and toads. I've bred a few species of snakes (all N/A colubrids except for African House Snakes). My favorites are the snakes for sure, but I like em all. Right now I am keeping: 1 Musk Turtle, 2 Bearded Dragons, and about 30 snakes. I have: 1 Eastern Milk Snake, 2 Sonoran Gophers, 2 Desert Kings, 2 Bairds Rats, 2 Rubber Boas, 2 Western Hognose, 18 Ball Pythons, and 1 Rainbow Boa. Also have a cat, 2 dogs, a wife and a girl and a boy!
I like to write about my herp experiences, and have written articles for local herp societies and for the International Herpetological Society in England. I have one submitted to Reptiles Mag right now - keep your fingers crossed for me please, although I don't hold out much hope it sure would be nice to get published for real.
Other interests include firearms, shooting, hunting, fishing, travel, hiking, finer ales and beers, sci-fi, reading, forensic psychology, and writing.
I live in Mineola, NY, about 15 miles east of NYC.
I have a herp related home page at:

Hope to share some herp info and some fine conversation here on the forums. If I ever get to opinionated dont feel bashful, let me know, or just reach out and:grab: me and shake me up a bit.
Best regards,
