Hello from Titusville Florida

Hello, my name is Uncle Rev (AKA Christopher Lee)

I am now an accidental snake enthusiast. I was perusing through CL and saw an excellent deal on a massive glass tank/stand with the intentions of restarting an aquarium (lost my original collection in the hurricane string that devastated Florida.) However, when my son and I traveled across town to pick up this mother of all glass creations I encountered a pretty outrageous scenario:

The owner of the glass tank asked me if I was interested in the snakes that were in the tank. I had informed him that I only came for the tank. He merely shrugged and said he would toss the snakes in the backwoods since he could no longer house them. However, I could have them with the tank no extra charge.

My shoulders slumped and my mood immediately blackened. Florida kills so many snakes every year because of people just like this. So I examine these guys and man it took one look and I was in love. Plain old ball python and a red tailed boa (yes, they were housed together...)

Well long story short, here I am with 2 new additions to my family, 2 new enclosures, heat pads, lamps, a burgeoning new addiction. I am hopelessly hooked.

In my first month I have fought off mites, fixed bites from the rats the previous owner was feeding the ball python and spent an *** ton of money. So here I am learning each step of the way.

Thanks for all the info thus far and hello!
