Just a weird girl in a herp world...
Hey my name is Karen. I'm 18 years old, and at the time I have but three snakes:
"Lamia"- an Okeetee corn snake, 10 years old, female
"Bones"- amelanistic corn snake, unknown age, male (rescue snake)[got his name because the person I got him from thought he wasnt supposed to have any heat so of course he starved not being able to digest his food...basically he was a spine and scales when he got to me]
"nakito"- ball python, 2 years old, male(rescue snake)
Soon I should be getting another ball python and an emerald green tree python...I'm pretty stoked for that.
About me? well I'm just a normal average wierd chick who likes snakes and long walks in the forrest at night. I like my men with forked tongues and pretty much no interest in me who enjoy hiding in little wood caves and agressively squeezing cute furry things till their eyes pop out.
Other than that I'm an artist, a poet, a nerd, bookworm, movie lover, people watcher, and romanticly involved with music.
any questions are gladly answered.

Re: Just a wierd girl in a herp world...
Hello and welcome to the forum...sounds like you have some nice snakes, and kudos on rescuing and rehabbing the corn and the BP. As for your upcoming snakes, do you mean emerald tree boa or green tree python? Those are two different species entirely. The care is pretty much the same, with the ETBs being slightly less hardy in general than GTPs. I keep both and have had pretty good luck with them. I've found my ETBs to actually be easier to keep, but most everyone else you talk to will say the opposite.

Re: Just a wierd girl in a herp world...
sorry! yeah I have a friend breeding emerald tree boas right now and I'm scoring one for free when they are ready. I hear they are a little nippy but I'm not scared of a little scars.

Fascinating and very cool..
Several of my snakes are named after various "gods" and mythological names.
and one is named after Ho Masubi the Japanese god of fire (Shinto mythology) combined with Vesuvius the volcano that wiped out Pompeii, her name is "Masubius"

Re: Just a weird girl in a herp world...
Very neat. Mythology is awesome. I have a few of my snakes named after ancient gods and goddesses. My hypo het anery boa is Isis, and I had a carpet named Zeus.
