‘Bout time for an Introduction

Hello, I’m not new here but never did an introduction so I figured it was about time. I’m Drew. I’m a born and raised Texan.

I have always had a love for reptiles and finally got a ball python about 7 years ago. Since then my passion has grown and I began preparing to breed in 2020. My first clutched hatched earlier this year!

My “collection” has now grown beyond ball pythons and I have a BCI and a Burmese python. I’m still young (2007) and don’t have years of experience to brag about but someday I will. :grinning:

Wow @slither_shack you really have an awesome collection. Definitely feel free, and share pictures of your whole herp family! I would love to have a burm when I was 14, four years ago! Also don’t say you don’t have experience and knowledge, you have show your knowledge even if you are just starting out. I am extremely happy to have you in our family of herp keepers!

We have another youngin! It’s great you’ve started out younger I think, I was never really allowed reptiles when I was younger, mum wasn’t keen! So I have my ‘mini zoo’ now! :blush:
My daughter is 6 1/2 and animal mad, I do hope by your age that she’s still mad on them!
I mean she’s getting her own pair of Cresties soon when she’s chosen (picking what hatchlings she wants to keep for herself) so I hope she still loves them by then :joy:

Welcome again, you’ve been brill on there and helpful to all the Royal owners :blush:

And yes, cannot get enough of peoples reptiles so share some more :grin:

Welcome to the site. Now you have to post some pictures of your boa and burm. I started collecting reptiles, frogs and turtle’s when I was 6 or 8 years old in the river that ran behind my house. Drove my mom nuts every summer with all the stuff I would bring home. Got my first boa when I was 11 years old.

Take care

The boa pic is from a few years ago but he’s in shed so I don’t want to disturb him

Welcome :heart: im pretty new to this site and new to snakes as my momma never allowed me to own a snake so i have had every animal that i could get. I mostly keep spiders and scorpions but i do have a cat and 2 snakes though my baby noodle ran away and i have no idea where she is and im very worried.

Oh dear, I hope you find noodle soon :crossed_fingers:
