My 25th anniversary is tomorrow and I remember everything about getting my first snake like it was yesterday. There were a few circumstances that cause me to remember the date and time and I consider myself very luck to be able to pinpoint that moment

Happy Anniversary!!

I am proud that I have had the pleasure of keeping these wonderful creatures as pets for so many years

But I am not gonna lie....getting older hurts a little

lol, I can't count that, but it sounds like it'd make a good thread of it's own

Well thank you

I don't mind aging so much - snakes find hanging out on my walker quite comfy

Your a class act all the way and any reptile you care for is an lucky animal.
This hobby could use more people like you and Jerry.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I've seen pictures of your snakes and they look like they are very well taken care of. You need to put yourself in that group of people that the hobby could use more of.

Well thanks for the kind words, but as far as 'a class act' goes, are you sure you've got the right guy? I could understand if you said something like 'Nobody can skin 'm alive like you can' or something, but class? Are ya new? LOL

Yes i am sure your a class act and yes you can skin them alive like nobody else. lol

To me this is what makes a great reptile owner.

A great reptile keeper will admit they don't know it all, but are always trying to learn more. So they can know as much as possible to give their reptiles the healthiest, safest, and happiest life possible. They are always willing to share what they do know with help others. They care first and four most about the animals. This is what makes a truly great keeper.

Happy late Anniversary Todd! It's been a pleasure talking to you about your animals. I have learned ALOT from you and hope to learn even more.

^^^^ This ^^^^ Best definition of a great reptile keeper...it's what I believe as well and something I strive for everyday with my own animals as well as those I don't keep.

Spot on Chuck! These two are the first on my list of people to look to for help. Not only have they put their the in but they will help others whenever they can.

You're all too kind :P

I got my first legitimately purchased (as opposed to catching snakes) trio of corns back in 1994 and been keeping and breeding balls since 2000. Almost there. I do not deserve your admiration or respect for another two years I suppose....

You along with about a dozen other on here have my up most respect.
Some might not like the way you give it but you always give sound advice.
