Getting a pet in a magazine is a great honor! My girlfriend and I always dream of one of our snakes being in a magazine. GOOD WORK ROB!!!

i will do rob he's a great wee guy

he tours schools educating kids on reptiles

runs a wildlife garden

travels at his own cost to pick up ill snakes

all round good guy mate

i had problems with my sick jag the other night he gave me step by step e mails with possible ways to relieve the symptoms

that was from midnight through the early hours

he was brought up in france by his zoo keeper grandfather and is like the oracle of all things reptile

he has a huge collection of the strangest and rarist of things

cant say enough good things about him,he even has a nuts sense of humor

im ashamed to say ive not tracked down a copy of the mag yet

if im chuffed for you

im really really happy,glad that its went really well for you and excited for you

proud and content that you've achieved your goal or challenge you took up

for example, im really chuffed your wife and you have just had the son you always wanted (after having three daughters and always wanting a baby boy )

hope that clears it up for you mate

would'nt worry too much about the launguage barrier

i had to get wayne to tell me what a wardrobe was called in the states

after a guy asked if he could make a vivarium out of one ?

cant remember the american word for it though,but it had me stumped

im using the queens english as they call it on here

if i added the scottish spin on it even the english folk on here from the uk would have trouble understanding

like.....

farru a bootz iz at ? = where is that ?

cheers shaun
