Ok so I stumbled onto this forum how new is it?
My name is Eric I'm 28yo engaged and soon to be married. I also have a baby girl on the way in 17 weeks. Yes I'm counting lol she will be named Isabelle Marie Grace and with a little luck will love reptiles. I'm gonna try to get her involved but she might follow her mother and do the girly girl thing and just say yuck there slimy
Anyway.
I have been poking reptiles with sticks since I was little guy. I have kept a little bit of everything. I started working with venomous snakes when I was around 12-13yo that's only outside and natives mostly copperheads. I didn't keep a venomous snake till I was 21-22 they were pygmy rattlers then on to copperheads. I got my first exotic venomous snake shortly after I turned 27yo
My first exotic was an albino monocled cobra which I kept for a year and did fine with him but got a little nervious when I found out I had a little one on the way. Mainly I thought if that 3 1/2 ft snake keeps that temperment at 6-7ft I would be out league. I traded him to a vendor at the reptile show and will get some more exsperience before going down that road again. He really wasn't that bad I just need a little more exsperience on my end to be safe with an adult.
I now have a 0.1 Gaboon,0.0.3 rhinos, and 0.0.1 Atheris Hispida which I hope will live to a ripe old age.
Well there's a little about me. I doubt anyone will want to read all that but hey I tried. I also wrote this on another forum recently so if you already seen it sorry I wasn't retyping all this twice in two days. ;D
Ok now for the pics Gaboon, Rhino, and Atheris Hispida
Ok I'm not doing two post tonight here are a few pics of a Albino monocled cobra I got rid of 2 months ago.
That's it for now nice to meet everyone. Who runs this forum?
