I have been hanging out here for a while but I don't post that often. Today I decided that its time to post my introduction and a little info about myself so here it is.
My interest in snakes started at the age of 2 when my parents got me an animal encyclopedia and I memorized the names of all the snakes in it but skipped over the other animals. I caught my first snake when I was 7. Growing up in a remote area of the mojave desert gave me the opportunity to collect and keep many desert species including Crotalus, Masticophis, Pituophis, Rhinocheilus and various lizards and insects. I have also kept many of the usual pet store species (ball python, ribbon snake, garter snake, etc.).
Going to college and traveling a lot shifted my interest away from reptiles but now that I am settled down, married with kids and have some stability in my life, I am back into the hobby. I currently have 0.1 normal corn and 1.0 gray banded king snake.
This is a great forum and I am glad to be a part of it. Thanks for reading my intro, I will be seeing all of you around.
