New from Oklahoma
Hello all,
I'm Michael, I'm a long time herp keeper and have work with many species non-venomous and hots. I found this site looking for information about a species I'm interested in keeping, I liked what i saw while browsing around and decided to join the community here.
I'm 32yrs old, getting married at the end of September, we have 3 amazing children, two Bulldogs, a mini Schnauzer (spelling?), and a Morki (Maltese and Yorkie)
Snake wise I currently only own an Akistrodon contortrix (Copperhead) that I found while road cruising 18 months ago. It was a fresh baby, and hadn't shed and most likely not eaten yet either. Now its about 15" long thick as a thumb and a very happy little Copper. We named her Penny partly after the copper color, and partly because we love Big Bang Theory. I'm in the process of converting part of my garage into a snake room and will be getting two more copperheads, a trio of Eyelash Vipers, a Monocle Cobra, and perhaps a Bitis gabonica. For non-venomous I'm looking at a trio of color morph ball pythons, Red Dominican Boas, Brazilian Rainbow Boas, and perhaps a trio of Carpondros.
Most of my experience is with American Pit-vipers, and Cobras. Also tree pythons, and once upon a time large boids.
I work as a Network Engineer for an ISP in Tulsa OK. Thank you, any questions just ask.

Re: New from Oklahoma
Nope, just snakes. In the past I've had a rather large white throated monitor and a juvi water monitor, but I stick to the legless variety now. Next Tulsa reptile show, we should get the Oklahoma sSNAKESs peeps together.

Thanks man, a fellow Bville Herper. Good to know I'm not alone there. I live right off Tuxedo and 75, so I've gotten food at the pet store there, but I have seen just for pets, I'll have to check them out.
I'm picking up a Western DB today, that my Vet in Muskogee caught in her yard.. craziness to see a Western this far north, but hey, I'll take it.
we'll have to get together sometime man, I just moved there a month ago in preparation for my wedding at the end of Sept.

I would totally be down for that. When is it? Please don't say Sept 28th through Oct 6th, that's my wedding and honeymoon and I'll be in NYC and DC with my new bride.

You can always come back... I love it here. I moved here from Las Vegas three years ago, and I love Oklahoma!
I miss the city sometimes, but I wouldn't trade a day on the lake with a fishing pole for any amount of bright lights
