Hi Guys and Gals,

Have been reading post on the site for a few days and decided to join a it looks like the best palce for a nebie to Herps to learn before buying.

I have finally talked my wife into entertaining the idea of the possibility of thinking about considering the chances of contemplating getting a Python......:shock: ........As you can see I may have some ways to go!!!! Looks like I will get my way after our house is completed in a few months though.:p

I have only recently been taken by the idea. I was like most of the population, *&^t scared of any snakes after a run-in with a Tiger when I lived on the Murray River as a youngster. But after seeing and holding an Olive Python at a snake busters show about 2 years ago I was taken in by them. Also after seeing many, many shows on Animal Planet and watching people like Steve Irwin and Austin Stevens being so passionate about them I have found them facsinating.

I won't ask the usual question about the best species as I have read a few post on that topic, and I live about 100mt away from Pails for Scales in Ballarat. I drop in alot to see all the different species as well as asking heaps of questions and generally annoying the staff. They are great though, anything to convert someone into a snake lover. My wife likes the look of Olives - says they look kind- but after she found out the can grow over 4mt she has reconsidered. So still thinking about the species maybe a MD or Diamond for our first.

Anyway just wanted to intro myself, will proberly be asking a couple of questions over the next few months and just enjoting reading the posts.

Have attached a few pics from Singapore Zoo. Went there earlier this year for my honeymoon. Got lost in the eys of the King Cobra for a few minutes, I strated rembering the scene in Harry Potter when the glass vanished and lost my nerve.:oops:

P.S If anyone needs someone to drop into to Pails to check out anything or get any info I am more than happy.

Welcome to the site, and please feel free to ask all the questions you like and we will do our best to answer them. There is a bit of political maddness going on at the moment and I'd advise staying clear of that. Other than that go nut's we are all here to learn
 
Hey welcome, I am a new herp too with a new little Jungle. So am enjoying learning lots.
Good luck with getting your first snake.
 
Welcome to aboard, all you need now is a few snakes. Personally I'd go with a diamond, they're great pythons.
