Hi there!!!

[ruthupton]

My name is Ruth, I am 41, and I live in North Shropshire, United Kingdom.

Having kept tropical fish for three years now - my main tank is South American Community Fish - I decided I would like to realise my lifetime ambition of owning a snake.

Last week I started off with a Royal Python, but health problems (ticks, mites, scale rot) made me reluctantly return it to the store. I now have a cute little Californian Kingsnake and have a feeling that I am going to be happier with this one.

I have looked around a few of the reptile forums but found this to be the most friendly and knowledgeable so I can see myself becoming a regular here.
