Reboot? What's that?
Hi Folks. I guess I'm something of a lurker until now. Read the great things everyone has to say. Got a LOT of info. This site (and all of you) has helped my wife and I with the care of our two snakes, Maize and Curly.

My wife bought a Florida (Brooksi) King and I wanted a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. Oh man I wanted one of those guys. After looking at the care sheets from numerous sites and talking to a few folks at the shows, I thought it best to start off with an Abbott Okeetee instead. Her coloring is fantastic and she is a little easier to care for due to my just starting off with snakes. In a year or so perhaps I'll get the Rainbow. I think it was best to start off slow and work my way up to an animal that needs a bit more care (humidity concerns for example).

With that in mind, I've gone to a number of local shows (Tampa, Bradenton) and also ventured off to Orlando and the Daytona show. Now the list of reptiles I want is growing. I guess you really can't have just one <grin>.

So if I may I'd like to show you our two snakes and for grins one of our dogs. The dog picture is a "Where's Waldo" type of picture. Ha... ok, maybe not but I thought it was funny.

Hey Doug - welcome to the forum.
You will find there are quite a few of us in Florida. My roommate and I live in Largo so we are right in the neighborhood!
 
Welcome to the forums!! Looks like you've got the sense of humor that will fit in perfectly here!!!
 
Nice kingsnake! I love Florida kings! _So_ trouble-free compared to anything else. I'm in Florida, too, up by Gainesville. We do stuff together like go to shows, the serpentarium, etc. It's announced in General Chit Chat.
 
I am also new to the forums. I will introduce myself in a seperate thread as not to hijack. Just wanted to say I am in Tampa. :)
