Howdy

Like others, I'm posting so I can get full membership status to view pictures and whatnot. I suppose I should share a little about myself as well.

I wanted to be a herpitologist when I was around 12 years old. That faded as I grew and I now work as an engineer building roads. Growing up I didn't have the financial resources to purchase much of anything, but my brother and I caught fence lizards and great basin gopher snakes (locally called "blow snakes" in south eastern idaho). I graduated from school last spring and now have some finances to support a few herps. My wife and I purchased a bearded dragon and an irian jaya carpet python a week and a half ago. I don't think our collection will grow for some time but my long term goals include breading several different species, particularly green tree pythons. For now I just want to enjoy what I have and participate in learning more from the community here. Thanks.

Re: Howdy

Welcome to the forum! We love pictures around here, and me in particular having a bearded dragon myself would love to see yours as well. Hope you enjoy your time here, it is a great place and wonderful people in general. Not to mention that it is a great place for any kind of help or information that you would ever want.

Re: Howdy

I've uploaded a few photos to the gallery, but when I try to get the URL to them I can't. I followed the directions in the help forum and I when I right click I don't get a pop up menu with properties as an option. Nothing pops up. I guess you can check out my gallery to see pics of the newbies. Thanks for the welcomes.

Re: Howdy

Welcome fellow engineer (civil I take it?)! If you have a photobucket account, all you have to do is copy the image code and paste it into your post. Viola, instant picture!

Re: Howdy

Yeah I'm a Civil guy working in Arizona right now. I guess I'll have to get a photobucket account, but was hoping to use the gallery here. Oh well.

Re: Howdy

Imageshack is a great place to upload images and it is really easy to do. That is what I use.
