I've found a few photos hanging around so guess it's time to share ... :)

Currently have the following snakes

1 Snow Boa - 7' adult - the featured Snow Boa in John Berry's Designer Boa Morphs .
1 Dwarf Hypo Burmese Python
2 HC Albino Royal Pythons ( unrelated pair )
1 Pastel Royal Python
1 Rhino- nosed rat snake
1 Red Mountain Bamboo rat snake.
I Imperial Pueblan - Hybrid ( King x Milk)
1 Amel Stripe Corn-snake ( male )
1 Blizzard White Corn-snake ( female )
1 Banded Cali King
1 Albino Striped Cali King
1 Desert King
4 Garter snakes ( I Melanistic 'Black' and 3 Albino White Chequered Garters)




Here's my proven adult male Snow who's probably the jewel in my collection , certainly the costliest and most valuable money-wise.

He's the poster- boy Snow Boa of the well respected John Berry Designer Boa Morph books .

He's around 6 years old and approaching 7' long and very calm and friendly .




Here's another shot of the Snow Boa ...





This next one is a unique looking Hybrid . Listed as an Imperial Peublan .

As I understand he's a mix of a Cali King and a Pueblan Milk . Has a lovely calm temperament and he's a CB12.

Next in line is my beautiful Dwarf Hypo Burmese python ... currently about 20" and around 12 month sold . Lovely temperament .
Crazy to see a Burm not much bigger than a biro / ballpoint pen

.






Last up for the time being is my lovely little Rhino Ratsnake .... he's about 6 months old and hasn't developed his adult bright greenish colour as yet.
He's rather cute though , non the less :)





Plus a rather poor photo of one of my two Albino Royals .....

 
It wouldn't let me edit for some reason so here is my intro :)


Well ..... I' m a real nice guy for starters . :)


My main obsession is snake keeping ( and tropical fish to a lesser extent ).


Currently have the following snakes



I have Aspergers ( form of autism ) and have worked in education for 19 years helping autistic teenagers to survive the torture of secondary / high school .

I

Please excuse my obsessiveness plus any poor spelling / grammar ....it comes with Aspergers , sadly.
 
Other obsessions ( still can't edit ) ..... All types of Music , football / soccer , Movies and TV , MotoGP and frequenting forums .

Did I mention I'm an Aspie ( Aspergers ) plus I'm obsessive :)
 
Hello and welcome. It is amazing that you are able to help other people with Asperger's. I am sure they are beyond grateful to have someone that personally knows the troubles they face. I also have a Imperial Pueblan, and though he is kind of a jerk he is still incredible to look at. It is not his fault as he is still small and scared of me so musks me every time I hold him.
 
Nice collection you have there.

My 13 year old Grand nephew has Aspergers. I hope and pray he can get through high school and lead a pleasant productive life.

What kind of fish are you into?

I think only paid members get an edit button.:(

Hi.

Well I find watching fish very relaxing but I've had to avoid the faster moving fish ( danios etc ) in a couple if tanks to get the correct ' feel '.


So I have a tank of tetras ... Shoals of Neons , Black Phantom tetras and Emperor tetras who are all pretty slow moving and interesting swimmers at the same time .. Emperors and Black Phantoms are both slow moving but " twitchy " swimmers . I also have a separate , larger tank with 4 decent sized , brilliant white Platinum Angelfish in it . Very graceful , slow moving and utterly stunning to look at

Thank you !!


Funnily enough ...I was posting on another reptile forum just yesterday and mentioned my Aspergers / autism and tried to explain the basics of it and how it effects my life so dramatically ( even my loving family - cannot and will not ever be able to understand how debilitating it can be on a daily basis ) . Anyways after an hour or so another young guy posted that he was an Aspie but had been keeping it to himself as he wasn't confident enough to mention it . It seemed to lift a weight off his shoulders as he shared his experiences on the thread ! He was always getting into little online scuffles through simple misunderstandings .

Anyways we have our own forum and website ...... the WrongPlanet is an Aspie / Autisitic spectrum website for us weirdos :)
 
Just received my new baby Super Dwarf Purple Albino Retic from WildSide via ColdBlooded couriers . He was in fabulous condition plus lovely and warm :)

He looks to be just going into shed so I'll leave him to settle in for while ..

I'm sorry to say I think you might have a new jewel in your collection. I love boas but the retic is just WOW. In Florida we need a special permit to have a big snake. If I remember right it is retics, burms, rock, anaconda, and some monitor. [emoji17]. The state says that to many people were letting them go but I think it was from hurricane Andrew. Which took out about half the state. I think there was something like 300 big cats that they don't know what happened to them loose or dead who knows.

Sorry I went on a rampage there.

But you do have some stunning snakes.

Thank you for those kind words !
 
I could never own a full size retic but I certainly would entertain the thought if I could count on 8' or less!
