Hello All!
I have been using this forum for almost a week now and I really appreciate the community here. My name is Ryan, I have been keeping snakes and lizards for about 8 years now. Unfortunately, I had to significantly reduce my collection to just one BP and one Columbian Boa (aren't divorces great?!).
A little more about myself, I served in the US Marine Corps for 8 years, enjoy playing guitar and weightlifting.
I look forward to furthering my knowledge and appreciation for reptiles with you guys.

Re: Hello All!
First is my BP- "Trouser" He is 8 years old and was my first. He's about 4 ft 2 in.
Second is my Columbian Boa- "Eve" She is about 9 months and is a little over 2 ft long and growing fast! She is currently recovering from a minor rectal prolapse but is doing well.
The last pic is of Trouser and our cat staring each other down. Despite how it looks, they get along very well and are quite comfortable with one another. Their interaction is always monitored of course.

Re: Hello All!
I was Military Police. But when we deployed they always turned us into an infantry unit. I spent most of my time as a 240 G Machine Gunner when that occurred.

Re: Hello All!
LOL, yes. My poor grandmother, R.I.P., didn't get the inuendo and made me explain it to her. She never asked me to clarify anything else she didn't understand ever again.

Re: Hello All!
Hello and welcome! Beautiful snakes! I got to visit the Marine Corps Base in Quanitco VA last summer with my Uncle who is now a retired Officer in the Marines. He walked me around the base it was intense but very cool!
