Hello everyone, I'm Christophe and currently living in Belgium.
I have been herping for 15 years and kept many interesting species over the years.
I don't remember them all but I'll try to sum them up.
Having kept: Kingsnakes, milksnakes, ratsnakes, cornsnakes, ball pythons, many tarantulas, scorpions, praying mantisses, walking sticks/leaves, poison dart frogs...
Currently I have a BCI, Kenyan Sand Boa, Amazon Tree Boa, Yellow Anaconda, Giant Asian forest scorpion and a Mexican flame knee tarantula.
I have seen the hobby change a lot over the years. For the good you can easily and cheaply acquire very good terrariums and supplies. Very good info is easy to find now online and thousands of books are to be bought. However for the not so good, it looks to me that the only animals you can find on the expos are boa and ball morphs and buckets of poison dart frogs...I guess it's a matter of demand/supply. You need to look hard to find something interesting, but I recently bought my Yellow Anaconda for a ridiculous low price.
Please also check out my thread about my yellow anaconda in the general boa forum. I will soon be creating threads about the other species keep.
Cheers.
